| Eldred, PA - The Eldred World War II Museum announces a special exhibit entitled Bill Mauldin: Original Works 1960-1991. The Exhibit features original artwork from the two-time Pulitzer Prize winning artist. Bill Mauldin's cartoons became well-known during World War II through the Stars and Stripes military newspaper. The characters he created, Willie and Joe, reflected the American GI in a way that captured the war experience in a human and often humorous way. Maudlin received the Pulitzer Prize for his WWII artwork in 1945. Following the War, Mauldin was an actor, writer and illustrator. He ran for Congress in 1956, but would return to cartooning in 1958 on the editorial pages of the St. Louis Dispatch. He |
| received his second Pulitzer Prize a year later. The Museum exhibit consists of 26 original editorial cartoons drawn from 1960-1991 and 4 limited edition Willie and Joe prints. The exhibit comes from the Estate of Bill Mauldin and has previously only been on display in Chicago at the Jean Albano Gallery. Mauldin Exhibit Brochure (PDF) |
