During a visit to her parents’ house in Yonkers, New York, Pentagram’s Emily Oberman made an unusual discovery: a cache of extraordinary pen-and-ink drawings made by her mother, the artist and illustrator Arline Simon, that depict the Army-McCarthy hearings of 1954. Drawn directly from the hearings as they aired on live television, the portraits brilliantly capture the likenesses of the key players in the proceedings, as well as the immediacy and impact of a watershed event that captivated the nation.
"Pentagram is the world’s most acclaimed creative collective, where 23 partners work independently and collaboratively to shape the future of design. Guided by curiosity and intellect, we create work that redefines ideas, shifts perceptions, and leaves an imprint across disciplines and industries."
