Ralph Barton
Ralph Barton (August 14, 1891 – May 19, 1931) was an American artist best known for his cartoons and caricatures of actors and other celebrities. Though his work was heavily in demand through the 1920s and is often considered to epitomize the era, his personal life was troubled by mental illness, and he was nearly forgotten soon after his suicide, shortly before his fortieth birthday.〔(【引用サイトリンク】Abstracts for Caricature and Cartoon in Twentieth-Century America )〕
==Early life==
Ralph Waldo Emerson Barton was the youngest of four children born to Abraham Pool and Catherine Barton. His father was an attorney by profession, but around the time of Ralph's birth made a career change to publish journals on metaphysics. His mother, an accomplished portrait painter, ran an art studio.〔''Dictionary of Missouri Biography'', Lawrence O. Christensen, University of Missouri Press, 1999〕 The young Barton showed his mother's aptitude for art, and by the time he was in his mid-teens he had already seen several of his cartoons and illustrations published in ''The Kansas City Star'' and the ''Kansas City Journal-Post''. Buoyed by this success, in 1908 Ralph Barton dropped out of Kansas City's Westport High School before graduating. He moved to Chicago in 1909 to attend the Art Institute of Chicago, but soon found he didn't "''like Chicago or Chicago people and worst of all the art institute. I could learn twice as much at work''" he confided in a letter to his mother.〔 Returning to Kansas City within a matter of months, he married his first of four wives, Marie Jennings.
