Born in Montabaur, Germany, Joseph Leyendecker became a noted American
illustrator and graphic designer who, between 1896 and 1950, painted
more than four-hundred magazine covers, most of them of an idealized
America and 321 for Saturday Evening Post. He particularly hit his stride in the 1930s.
For
Arrow Collar he designed ads that laid the foundation for selling
lifestyle with product. It is said that his technical skill was
beyond reproach, he worked amazingly (showing 500 of 16212 characters). |
