German-born artist and cartoonist Thomas Nast (1840-1902) learned that caricatures could be used to influence politics, leading him to develop such ubiquitous symbols as the Republican Party elephant and the personified Uncle Sam. Famous for his unusual pairing of humor and political journalism, Nast affected the fortunes of his nation through his strong hold over public opinion, taking on William "Boss" Tweed and New York's Tammany Hall in his satirical illustrations. This work covers Nast's life and art, including discussion of the personages and events that appeared in his artwork. It describes his art, late-in-life political career, and lasting legacy in the creation of American cultural symbols. Read more
