Artist
Joseph Christian Leyendecker
A gifted draughtsman and a true go-getter, J.C. Leyendecker was a central figure in the Golden Age of Illustration. As the inventor of the Arrow Collar Man, Leyendecker defined dapper manhood for the entire prewar generation, and as the creator of over 300 covers for the Saturday Evening Post, he revolutionized modern magazine design and chiefly informed Norman Rockwell's wistful vision of America.
