Arthur Szyk - Soldier in Art

This film documents the introduction of the artist, activist, and World War II political caricaturist Arthur Szyk (1894-1951) to a group of students and teachers at Mercer Island High School in Seattle, Washington. Irvin Ungar, curator of The Arthur Szyk Society, encourages the students to share their reaction to work that is as vivid, profound, and worthy of discussion today as it was when it was created.
