SUMMARY:Drawn to War: The Political Cartoons of Louis Raemaekers
LOCATION:5
DESCRIPTION:<p>Political cartoons, newly printed in vivid color during the war era, wer
 e widespread and quickly consumed by popular culture across national border
 s and language barriers. As with today, caricatures allowed artists and aud
 iences to laugh, reflect and inform opinions of current events. Dutch artis
 t Louis Raemaekers, described as the “supreme cartoonist of the war,” used 
 his pencils as a weapon to create powerful impressions characterizing and c
 riticizing the nature and legacy of war.</p><p>Born in the Netherlands in 1
 869, Raemaekers’ first wartime political cartoon was published in the Amste
 rdam newspaper De Telegraaf on Aug. 1, 1914, following the German declarati
 ons of war. As is true with today’s political cartoonists, Raemaekers infus
 ed religious sensibility and symbolism to develop both comical and stirring
  commentary on the brutality of war and its destructive legacy. Caricatures
  of leaders, particularly Kaiser Wilhelm, personified the reprehensible pra
 ctices of war conducted by Germans while portraying empathy that defied nat
 ional borders.</p><p>Between 1914 and 1918, Raemaekers’ works were printed 
 in newspapers worldwide, reproduced on millions of postcards, published in 
 dozens of books, and exhibited in hundreds of cities around the globe. Raem
 aekers received unprecedented attention on both sides of the Atlantic, was 
 awarded the French Legion of Honor, and received credit for influencing the
  U.S. decision to enter the war. </p><p>Louis Raemaekers died in the Nether
 lands on July 26, 1956. The next day’s issue of the British newspaper, The 
 Times, described Raemaekers’ legacy:</p><p>“...he was the one private indiv
 idual who exercised a real and great influence on the course of the 1914-18
  War. There were a dozen or so people – emperors, kings, statesmen, and com
 manders-in-chief…[o]utside that circle of the great, Louis Raemaekers stand
 s conspicuous as the one man who, without any assistance of title or office
 , indubitably swayed the destinies of peoples.”</p>
