Description

“The World Mourns” (11/25/1963) By Eddie Germano (1924 - 2026) 11 x 15, ink and wash on board A native Bostonian, Germano became a full-time cartoonist in 1948, at age 24, after serving in WWII. Among other positions, he worked as the editorial and sports cartoonist for the Brockton Enterprise from 1963-1990. His cartoons were quite popular in the greater Boston area, and he still does some commissioned work today. This is perhaps the earliest of his existing editorial cartoons from his time at the Enterprise, which obviously commemorates the JFK assassination.

Agreed. I usually do not go for editorial art this new (in my lifetime), but I like this guy's work. I also have a nice one he did for LBJ and I will post that soon. Also quite stylistic.

As a child of Ireland in the 60's almost every house had a picture of The Sacred Heart Of Jesus and JFK on the wall. He represented so much idealism but on a practical level, it was the immigrant family that made good. My Dad made a point of telling me often , that I "met" him when he came to Ireland. I was six months old LOL !
