William Gropper

Opening on July 25, 2025

Lockhart Gallery

Political cartoonist and painter William Gropper (1897–1977) spoke truth to power. While his satiric and piercing wit targeted powerful men in politics and finance, he was an advocate for the people, saving his admiration and respect for the American worker. With paintings, drawings, and prints from the permanent collection, this exhibition highlights what the artist’s critical eye and mind captured during four decades of his career.
