The stories they tell reflect the political and social issues of their times as well as the broader issues that are still relevant today. Frans Masereel (1899-1972) was born in Belgium and is considered the father of the wordless graphic novel. Graphic Witness includes the first reprint of his classic work The Passion of a Man since its 1918 publication in Munich. American Lynd Ward (1905-85), author of the provocative Wild Pilgrimage, is considered among the most important of wordless novelists. Giacomo Patri (1898-1978) was born in Italy and lived in the United States. His White Collar featured an introduction by Rockwell Kent and was used a promotional piece by the labor movement. Erich Glas's (1897-1973) haunting wordless novel Leilot, created in 1942, foreshadows the Holocaust, which was not widely known about at the time. Southern Cross by Canadian Laurence Hyde (1914-87) was controversial for its criticism of U.S. H-bomb testing in the South Pacific. Author George A. Walker draws on his expertise as a woodcut artist to provide insight into the tools and techniques used to create these works of art. As well, he examines the importance of the role of artists as witnesses and critics of their times, and the influence of the genre on the emergence of comics and the modern graphic novel. This newly expanded edition of Graphic Witness, which features an afterword by cartoonist Seth, will appeal to readers interested in social issues, printmaking, art history and contemporary culture."-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Wood-engraving $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Society in literature. 655 7 $a Graphic novels. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Wordless picture books. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Wordless comics. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Walker, George A. $q (George Alexander), $d 1960- $e compiler. $e compiler. 700 1 $i container of (work): $a Masereel, Frans, $d 1889-1972. $t Passion of a man. 700 1 $i container of (work): $a Ward, Lynd, $d 1905-1985. $t Wild pilgrimage. 700 1 $i container of (work): $a Patri, Giacomo, $d 1898-1978. $t White collar. 700 1 $i container of (work): $a Glas, Ari, $d 1897-1973. $t Leilot. 700 1 $i container of (work): $a Hyde, Laurence, $d 1914-1987. $t Southern cross. 941 $a 1 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010030438.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=0DB32724673311EEBF3E118F48ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b UIBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
