- Paul Albert Plaschke, a native of Germany, achieved recognition
as a political cartoonist through his work at the Evening Post,
Louisville Times and Courier-Journal newspapers in Louisville
through the 1920s and at The Herald Examiner in Chicago in the
1930s. His need to earn a livelihood as a cartoonist conflicted
with his ambitions as a painter, but his reputation as an Impressionist
landscapist earned him a place at major American art exhibitions
in the East and Midwest, including the Hoosier Salon. Plaschke
was a founder of the Louisville Art Academy and was instrumental
in the beginnings of the Speed Art Museum. He was a student of
George Luks at the Art Students League in New York.
