Happy Iowa Caucus Day! Israeli illustrator Koren Shadmi's macabre take on Alfred Eisenstaedt's famed shot of an overeager sailor's post-WWII celebratory smooch, Tasting Victory, is a not-so-subtle glimpse into the artist's own feelings on the war. Timely and far more effective than a certain candidate's carnage-drenched campaign video. Shadmi and 59 others take to the pen for the "Artists Against the War" exhibition at the Society of Illustrators, up through January 26. —Rachel Wolff
