EDITORS COMMENTS
a Humorous Take on John Pierpont Morgan's Influence in the Art World, 1911 This cartoon, published in Puck magazine in 1911, offers a humorous perspective on the influential role of financier John Pierpont Morgan in the art world. In the illustration, Morgan is depicted as a powerful magnet, with a large magnet in the shape of a money sign attracting various paintings, suits of armor, and other objects towards him. Morgan, a prominent figure in American finance and industry, was also an avid art collector and philanthropist. He amassed an impressive collection of European art, which he displayed in his New York mansion, The Morgan Library & Museum. His influence extended beyond his personal collection, as he played a significant role in the financing and promotion of various artistic endeavors. The cartoonist's use of a magnet as a metaphor for Morgan's influence is a clever commentary on the financial power that attracted art and artists to him. The image of the money sign magnet also highlights the connection between wealth and the art world during this time. The cartoon's publication in Puck magazine, a leading humor publication of the era, underscores the widespread recognition and fascination with Morgan's influence in the art world. This image offers a unique and entertaining perspective on a pivotal moment in the history of American art and finance.
