Samenvatting
As an example of my wanderings, let me briefly introduce New Yorks Bowery. There was never a street like it in the world; its bespattered pavements have seen the great cavalcade of its colorful history fade and die, remaining only a rendezvous for the misbegotten. A street of vivid contrast still, robbed of its El-thrown patchwork blanket of shadows, now exposed before the degrading sun: here the city keeps its backwash. Its businesses, cheap restaurants, flop-houses, saloons, and missions have been my setting. Its citizens drifters, hobos, down-and-outers all a little worse for wear, are people nonetheless, who once lived normally and now merely exist. They have all been my subjects and I have learned a great deal from them. Joseph Papin, The Street is My Studio, American Artist, Volume 23, Number 2, Issue 222, February 1959Joseph Papin specialized in reportorial art - on-the-scene drawing - the artist as reporter. He illustrated Washington, covering legislation in the House and Senate, and all the activities of a Presidential inauguration. He covered most of the major U.S. trials for over two decades, the Watergate hearings, the United Nations, and a spectrum of events, large and small. This book is a collection of 74 of Joe Papin's early drawings of the Bowery, along with some interview transcripts. It is the first of a series of books highlighting his work.A freelance artist since 1957, Joe Papins work appeared in USIAs American Illustrated, Harpers, Newsweek, Business Week, The Reporter, American Heritage, Forbes, Playboy, The National Review and a host of specialty magazines. Among newspapers he contributed to The Herald Tribune, The New York Times, and worked on staff at The New York Daily News, where his reportorial drawings depicted the major trials for over twenty years. He illustrated over forty-five adult and childrens books, lectured at colleges and for professional societies, gave many demonstrations, and had numerous shows, including one that traveled the U.S. for over two years. He was the recipient of seven Page One Awards for Graphic Excellence in Journalism and the New York Press Club Art Award for Reportorial Art/Courtrooms: Outstanding Artist of the Year.Joe Papin started as an artist working his way through Ohio State University; made training films for the Army Signal Corps; and represented himself as a freelance artist for thirteen years. In 1969, he was invited to join the Daily News and worked to develop, enlarge, and reassert the place of the documentary artist in news coverage. For example, along with over 125 journalists and cameramen, he covered the Hearst trial in San Francisco. Joe Papins work encompassed the areas usually covered by photographers. He drew U.N. scenes, military and international subjects, concerts, parades, horse races, hospital emergency rooms and thousands of street scenes. His first love and compelling interest was drawing on-the-scene, where history happens.His career was cut short in 1992 due to his untimely death from melanoma. In 2015, his wife, Jane Papin, donated the extensive collection of his courtroom art work to the Library of Congress, over 4,750 drawings, as the Library of Congress has been developing a focus and interest in courtroom art. The contribution to the Library of Congress was made so that subsequent generations would have access to his work and the events that he documented. Joe Papin drew voraciously, sketched everywhere he went, and shared his love of reportorial art with everyone he met. At the beginning of his career as a free-lance artist in the later half of the 1950s, he wandered the Bowery, drawing and recording the stories of the street people he met there. He also worked with the East Harlem Protestant Parish, illustrating their work with the community and with the gangs in the area, and taught art classes to the youth. A book with his illustrations of the East Harlem Protestant Parish is forthcoming.
