Franklin McMahon
Franklin McMahon born on September 1921 was
an artist reporter, that his work took him around the world for more than half
a century. His work incorporated on journalism preferences for photographs to
make a renowned career of drawing historic scenes in beauty, as well as
emphatic lines. He sold a cartoon to Collier’s magazine while he was still in
high school, after working for Life
at the Till trial, McMahon a freelance artist, covered almost every national
political convention from 1960 to 2004. After
working for Life at the Till trial, McMahon a freelance artist, covered
virtually every national political convention from 1960 to 2004, the
Selma-to-Montgomery civil rights march, the Nixon-Kennedy debates and the
Second Vatican Council.
He made a number of films
consuming his pictures, and the presenting of one, about Chicago at Christmas,
became a tradition in the city. Life magazine hired McMahon to make courtroom
sketches of the trial, held in Sumner, assuming most on what you would think he
was a print reporter doodling. He later redrew the sketches in his hotel room,
and again in his studio. One of the most celebrated of the trial sketches
published in Life captured Mose Wright, Emmett’s uncle.
