Home Is Where The Art Is - VanCasso

A few 'snap shots' of Mr. VanCasso and his artwork:
 


Graphic Art, Cartoons and Milton Caniff

"Graphic art began to be an important element in the make up
 of the American newspaper in the early days of the republic.
Paul Revere engraved anti-British cartoons upon copper plates
for printers in Massachusetts Colony in the Revolution
and Benjamin Franklin illustrated his Pensylvania Gazette
and Poor Richard's Almanac.....Cartoons were already a potent
editorial influence at the time of the War of 1812.
A history of the United States since that time could be told
entirely in editorial cartoons." - John Paul Adams,
Milton Caniff: Rembrandt of the Comic-Strip, p. 16,
c.1946, David McKay Company.
The Above were copied from examples
of Mr. Caniff's artwork in the book with a China Marker.
