Szyk and .
Arthur Szyk ( June 16, 1894 – September 13, 1951 ) was a graphic artist, book illustrator, stage designer and caricaturist.
Arthur Szyk was born into a Jewish family in Łódź, in the part of Poland which was under Russian rule in the 19th century.
Unlike most caricaturists, Szyk always showed great attention to the colouristic effects and details in his works.
Today, Szyk is a well-known and often exhibited artist only in his last home country – the United States.
Arthur Szyk ( pronounced " Shick ") was born into a Jewish family, as a son of Solomon Szyk and his wife Eugenia, in Łódź, in Russian-occupied Poland, on June 16, 1894.
Solomon Szyk was a textile factory director, an occupation that, eventually, tragically determined his fate: in June 1905, during the so-called Łódź insurrection, he lost his eyesight after one of his workers threw acid in his face.
These interests and talents prompted his father, upon the advice of Szyk's teachers, to send Szyk to Paris to study at Académie Julian, a studio school popular among French and foreign students.
In Paris, Szyk was exposed to all modern trends in art ; however, he decided to follow his own way, which hewed closely to tradition.
When studying in Paris, Szyk remained closely involved with the social and civic life of Łódź.
The political and national engagement of the artist also deepened during that time – Szyk regarded himself as a Polish patriot but he was also proud of being Jewish and he often opposed anti-Semitism in his works.
On September 14, 1916, Arthur Szyk married Julia Liekerman.

During his stay in France, Szyk did not break contact with Poland.

* David Firestone-When Romney ’ s Reach Exceeds His Grasp-Mitt Romney quotes the song
" Swift extends the metaphor to get in a few jibes at England ’ s mistreatment of Ireland, noting that " For this kind of commodity will not bear exportation, and flesh being of too tender a consistence, to admit a long continuance in salt, although perhaps I could name a country, which would be glad to eat up our whole nation without it.
George Wittkowsky argued that Swift ’ s main target in A Modest Proposal was not the conditions in Ireland, but rather the can-do spirit of the times that led people to devise a number of illogical schemes that would purportedly solve social and economic ills.
In response, Swift ’ s Modest Proposal was " a burlesque of projects concerning the poor ", that were in vogue during the early 18th century.
Critics differ about Swift ’ s intentions in using this faux-mathematical philosophy.
Charles K. Smith argues that Swift ’ s rhetorical style persuades the reader to detest the speaker and pity the Irish.
Swift ’ s specific strategy is twofold, using a " trap " to create sympathy for the Irish and a dislike of the narrator who, in the span of one sentence, " details vividly and with rhetorical emphasis the grinding poverty " but feels emotion solely for members of his own class.
Swift ’ s use of gripping details of poverty and his narrator ’ s cool approach towards them create " two opposing points of view " that " alienate the reader, perhaps unconsciously, from a narrator who can view with ' melancholy ' detachment a subject that Swift has directed us, rhetorically, to see in a much less detached way.
Once the children have been commodified, Swift ’ s rhetoric can easily turn " people into animals, then meat, and from meat, logically, into tonnage worth a price per pound ".
Swift uses the proposer ’ s serious tone to highlight the absurdity of his proposal.
In making his argument, the speaker uses the conventional, text book approved order of argument from Swift ’ s time ( which was derived from the Latin rhetorician Quintilian ).
James Johnson argued that A Modest Proposal was largely influenced and inspired by Tertullian ’ s Apology: a satirical attack against early Roman persecution of Christianity.
Johnson notes Swift ’ s obvious affinity for Tertullian and the bold stylistic and structural similarities between the works A Modest Proposal and Apology.
He reminds readers that " there is a gap between the narrator ’ s meaning and the text ’ s, and that a moral-political argument is being carried out by means of parody ".
