    Description

    Here is a rare signed large original illustration art drawing by the great artist and political cartoonist
    Oscar Cesare (1883-1948) from the 1930s on the subject of Governor Floyd Olson, Minnesota and Communism
    . Fantastic drawing entitled, "Kremlinizing the State Capitol."
    Oscar Edward Cesare was a Swedish-born American caricaturist, painter, draftsman and editorial cartoonist.
    Cesare was born on 7 October 1883 in Linköping, Sweden. At eighteen he moved to Paris to study art, then traveled to Buffalo, New York, to continue his studies. In 1903 he moved to Chicago, and by 1911 he was living in Manhattan, New York City. One of his first jobs was illustrating The King of Gee-Whiz by Emerson Hough in 1906. By 1913, his success as an illustrator allowed him to exhibit at the legendary 1913 Armory Show. Cesare worked at several publications throughout his career, including the Chicago Tribune, New York World, New York Sun, New York Evening Post, Our World, The Century Magazine, Bookman, Outlook, Nation's Business, Literary Digest, Fortune, and The New Yorker. In 1920, he became a regular contributor to the Sunday magazine of the New York Times and continued until a few years before his death in 1948. In October 1922 Cesare had the very rare privilege of gaining admittance to the Kremlin to paint sketches of the Soviet leader Vladimir Lenin. He was also able to make sketches of Leon Trotsky on the same trip. He died on July 25, 1948 in Stamford, Connecticut.
    Floyd Bjørnstjerne Olson (1891 – 1936) was an American politician and lawyer. He served as the 22nd Governor of Minnesota from January 6, 1931, to August 22, 1936, dying in office of stomach cancer. Olson was a member of the Minnesota Farmer–Labor Party, and the first member of that party to win the office of governor. He was a prominent governor of Minnesota and an influential American politician.
