He served as a pictorial war correspondent for the navy during World War II, making war posters & depicting the troops on the battlefield. Many of his drawings & paintings from this time are in the Museum of Military History. in an interview, Hirsch once said ‘‘I believe that some day the fabric of art will be threaded with morality, enabling us to distinguish evil from good. Today, this is unthinkable, in the delightful art world where, excepting censorship, anything goes. But anything goes does not accord with the more discriminating ethics of our civilized code which rules out what is socially destructive.’’ Free Shipping in US PLEASE SEE MY OTHER HIRSCH ITEM “Doctor” https://www.etsy.com/listing/737530506/joseph-hirsch-american-1910-1981-doctor?ga_search_query=Doctor&ref=shop_items_search_1&frs=1 Joseph Hirsch | American 1901-1981, “The Hecklers” Lithograph, 1943-44, Signed in Pencil, Cole 7, | Free Shipping
