EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic portrait of Christ, drawn by Art Young for The Masses in 1913. Art Young, an influential American socialist cartoonist and editor, beautifully captures the essence of Jesus as the workingman of Nazareth. In this thought-provoking artwork, Young portrays Christ with a striking beard and mustache, symbolizing strength and wisdom. This powerful image resonates with the labor movement of that era, highlighting Jesus' connection to the struggles faced by workers in America. The portrait exudes a sense of brotherhood and unity as it seeks to bridge political divides through its depiction of Christ as a figure who transcends social boundaries. As an artist deeply involved in progressive politics, Young's portrayal emphasizes his commitment to advocating for social justice issues. Published in The Masses magazine, renowned for its radical viewpoints during that time period, this portrait became an emblematic representation within the socialist movement. It serves as a reminder that art can be used not only for aesthetic purposes but also as a tool for political expression. Art Young's Portrait of Christ continues to inspire contemplation on themes such as equality and compassion today. Its historical significance lies not only in its artistic merit but also in its ability to provoke dialogue about societal values and our collective responsibility towards one another.
