A student of George Bellows and Robert Henri, he was a prolific newspaper cartoonist, a WPA muralist, a Guggenheim recipient, and committed political activist--the first visual artist called before the House Un-American Activities Committee, after which he was blacklisted (though he got revenge with his pen). He was also a master of visual storytelling, best seen in his only full-length narrative work, Alay-Oop. First published in 1930, just as Gropper was coming to the height of his powers, this lost classic of the graphic novel presents an unusual love triangle: two circus acrobats and the honey-tongued schemer who comes between them. In page after page of charming, wordless art, Gropper takes us from the big top to bustling New York streets, from a cramped tenement apartment to the shifting landscape of a dream, as his characters struggle with the conflicting demands of career, family, and romance. A timeless and surprisingly modern yarn--with backflips aplenty"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 4 $a Graphic novel. 650 0 $a Acrobats $v Comic books, strips, etc. 650 0 $a Triangles (Interpersonal relations) $v Comic books, strips, etc. 655 7 $a Graphic novels. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Sturm, James, $d 1965- $e writer of introduction. 830 0 $a New York Review comics. 941 $a 1 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20190723011300.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=476D0814AD0F11E98C46566A97128E48 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
