Collection Overview
Collection Description & Creator Information
- Scope and Contents
The Art Works series forms the bulk of this collection and consists of over 900 cartoons and caricatures created in simple media like pencil sketches or ink drawings to formal limited edition portfolios of lithographs or richly hued watercolors. The vast majority of the works were produced between 1920 and 1950, the active period of collaboration between Derso and Kelen. Once their artistic partnership ended in 1950, Kelen produced cartoons and drawings for United Nations' publications and his own personal book projects and Derso supplied the National Review with numerous portrait sketches for their articles.
- Arrangement
The cartoons and caricatures have been grouped by size and then divided by theme, except in the instance of oversized materials which are organized by the title of the cartoon or caricature. One further exception is 8.5" x 11" portrait sketches which are arranged alphabetically in Subseries 4A: Portrait Sketches.
