SAM BERMAN

 

The Great New York Political Sideshow
Business in on the Carpet Again, 1938 (single)
Will Hays portrait
   
Caricatures for KEN

 

Sam Berman was born in 1905, and got his art training at the Pratt. He brought a certain rambunctiousness to FORTUNE in the treatment of political events. He also worked for COLLIER's and a sprightly book of caricatures, The NBC Parade of Stars was published in 1947. He was a remarable wielder of the air brush to achieve a shiny wet look to flesh. His portrait of Will Hays was quite a riposte to the Man that Hollywood loved to hate, the Guardian of the Hays Code.
