Rolf Armstrong was born in Bay City, Michigan, but soon moved to Chicago, where he eventually attended the Art Institute. After three years of study under John Vanderpoel, he made his next move, to New York City. In New York, Armstrong began to flex both his muscles and his drawing skills. He frequented the New York Athletic Club, and was as likely to be found boxing, as drawing.
In 1919, Armstrong traveled overseas and studied at the Académie Julian in Paris, France. (showing 500 of 7270 characters). |
