The Art Young book that was once advertised as The Ideal Easter Gift...
The Daily Good Morning (To Laugh That We May Not Weep) - Same As It Ever Was Saturday
“...A thing is beautiful, or perfect or inspiring equally from the declarative to the nth degree. And this is why I find it so difficult to pen any adequate praise for “Trees at Night”... Mr. Young has done a quiet and startling deed. He has put the poet of his being down into a book of black and white trees. Each picture sings into the brain a song, without any words to halt the sure strength and purpose of unforgettable music... Only a true craftsman could have so enduringly set them down. This is no book of ephemeral meaning. This is a work to own and pour over to escape moments that threaten to be dull and meaningless; since here one finds recurrent bursts of color, and full, clear pools of understanding.” -- Samuel A. DeWitt
ORIGINAL PUBLICATION: Saturday Evening Post somewhere between 1925 and 1927 - later the book Trees at Night.
Advertisement from The World Tomorrow in 1930 - a widely read and well-respected magazine of Christian Socialism
CAPTION: Jazz Infernal (a perfect counterpoint to Easter weekend)

Art Young's Good Morning - Ninety eight years and counting of our Not-MAGA-zine on the correct side of history...
"Same As It Ever Was Saturday" is when we look back a century ago, pick an Art Young cartoon from that era, and sigh at how the issues he was battling against then, are still the issues we battle against now...
