Vicky (Victor Weisz) (1913-1966) Weisz was a political caricaturist, born in Berlin, of Hungarian Jewish extraction, Vicky came and settled in England in 1935 and worked successfully on the News Chronicle, Daily Mirror and Evening Standard, maintaining a fiercly independent stance whatever the political hue of his employer and building a reputation as an incisive commentator on political events. A socialist himself, one of his most enduring creations was 'Supermac', a caricature of Macmillan intended ironically, but often interpreted in Macmillan's favour. Vicky is represented in many major collections, with a number of his works in London's National Portrait Gallery.
