Description:

"We Caught Hell! - Someone Must Have Talked". Image of a soldier carrying a dead or wounded soldier on his back with a firestorm in the background is a brutal scene. This poster is part of the “loose lips” series and depicts anger and accusation in its message. Tepper started as a letterer for fashion catalogs before becoming an illustrator. Later in life, Tepper became a songwriter and his songs were recorded by Nat King Cole and Ella Fitzgerald. Artist Biography: Saul Tepper (1899-1987) was a native New Yorker, born on the Lower East Side, who had a highly successful career as an illustrator in New York City. As a youngster, he was given a correspondence course award at the Landon School of Art, and he also studied at The Cooper Union, the Art Students League, and the Grand Central Art School under illustration artist Harvey Dunn. Tepper's painting, Academic Study of A Man, was probably done around that time. Tepper's characteristic style was realistic, with bold contrasts of light and dark and close attention to detail. He first worked as a letterer in a fashion catalog studio. At the height of his career, he produced illustrations for most of the major magazines of the time such as The Saturday Evening Post, Liberty Magazine, Woman's Home Companion, and American Magazine, as well as advertising art for such major accounts as General Electric, Coca-Cola, General Motors, Mobil and Texaco.
