Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Irving Kriesberg, who died in New York City on 11 November aged 90, was an American painter who combined intense abstract colours with human and animal elements.
Kriesberg's works appear in many major museums in the US, including New York's Museum of Modern Art and the Whitney Museum of American Art, as well as the Corcoran Gallery in Washington. The Chicago-born artist also taught at Yale, Columbia and Pratt Institute. In the 1940s, he applied for a job as lighting designer of the Times Square "Wondersign" billboard. For his audition, he created an illuminated Frank Sinatra, and got the job.
