John McCutcheon Paintings

In first half of the 20th century McCutcheon was known as the "dean of American cartoonists."

He worked for the Chicago Tribune for more than 40 years and before that for 14 years for the Chicago News and Record-Herald. McCutcheon, many times with his good friend and colleague George Ade, traveled the city, the country and the world chronicling life and war in pictures and in words.
