Est: $200 - $400
John Groth New York / Illinois, (1908 - 1988) Burkazi Afghanistan, abstract battle scene watercolor on paper signed lower right. Biography from The National Art Museum of Sport, Inc. John Groth made a career as a painter and illustrator by focusing on sports and war. He captured the action-packed scenes by witnessing the events first-hand and sketching his experiences. Groth used a style technique called "speed line," in which he sketched his subjects using rough, unperfected lines and filled the lines in with watercolors. Upon describing his technique, Ernest Hemmingway, whom Groth spent time with during World War II, wrote, "None of us understood the sort of shorthand he sketched in. the men would look at the sketches and see just a lot of lines. It was a great pleasure to find what fine drawings they were when we got to see them." He also was a artist-correspondent during the Korean and Vietnam wars. Groth was also the art Director for Esquire magazine.

South America. John Groth, South America Under the Axis or the Heil with the Monroe Doctrine, from Ken Magazine, 1938 (published). Printed Color.

Looming in the skies above are forceful winds created by "Adolf the Enforcer, Benito the Black Bomber and 'Gentleman' Hirota, the Yellow Kid," as described in the text below the map. Images of violence abound, with a citizen in Venezuela "saved from communism" by being gutted with a bayonet, and Rafael Trujillo stabbing a woman in the Dominican Republic to "make room for German settlers." Goods manufactured in Germany, Italy and Japan arrive in cargo ships. Drawn by John Groth and published in the second issue of Ken Magazine (21 April 1938), a controversial anti-fascist magazine. On verso are satirical cartoons of Japanese General Kenji Doihara and Benito Mussolini.

John Groth (1908-1988) 1957 Lithograph
Est: $100 - $150
John Groth (1908-1988) American artist focusing on sports and war. He captured the action-packed scenes by witnessing the events first-hand and sketching his experiences. Groth used a style technique called _speed line,î in which he sketched his subjects using rough, unperfected lines and filled the lines in with watercolors. Upon describing his technique, Ernest Hemmingway, whom Groth spent time with during World War II, wrote, _None of us understood the sort of shorthand he sketched in. the men would look at the sketches and see just a lot of lines. It was a great pleasure to find what fine drawings they were when we got to see them.î This is an original 1957 lithograph done for IMPROVERSATION. Signed in the plate. Approx. 12 x 8.5 in. VG...
