"Painter, printmaker, muralist, activist. Shahn's prodigious career spanned nearly 4 decades and embraced a wide array of mediums and causes. In his serigraphs, lithographs, paintings, and posters, the artists moral outrage of injustice and intolerance, deep sympathy for the disadvantaged, and wry sense of humour appear and reappear in new settings and altered circumstances. Shanh's direct and simple renderings of these recurrent themes combined with his keen regard for Jewish tradition provide the key to understanding both the artist and the man."--BOOK COVER.
