Guess Who? Sketch Book #6

Autor M. Schottenbauer Ilustrat de Elizabeth Jacoby Schottenbauer
en Limba Engleză Paperback
This art book consists of sketches drawn by my grandmother, Elizabeth ("Beth" or "Betty") Jacoby Schottenbauer (August 31, 1901-2003), a gifted artist who lived her entire life in rural Minnesota. The granddaughter of ambassadors from the German state of Prussia who arrived in the United States (New York) during the Civil War, my grandmother was born and raised in a tiny farmhouse on a land grant from the Louisiana Purchase. She attended Mankato State Teacher's College and was a schoolteacher until she married my grandfather. She was devoted to an appreciation of knowledge, education, art, and music, particularly the piano. "Guess Who?" is grandmother's own title for this sketchbook, which includes many United States Presidents and generals, Caroline and Jackie Kennedy, famous movie stars from the mid-1900's, and international figures, including Pope Paul VI, Winston Churchill, and Queen Elizabeth II. In context, these sketches are a tribute to civil rights and humanitarian efforts in the mid-1900's. Some of the figures which may not be as familiar to contemporary audiences, such as Senator Dirksen, Haile Selassie, and Jawaharlal Nehru, were instrumental in passing humanitarian legislation. This sketchbook was my grandmother's political statement.
