BURNE HOGARTH (1911-1996), hailed as the "Michaelangelo of the
comic strip," was one of the most iconic cartoonists and
influential arts educators of the twentieth century and remains so
today. After attending the Chicago Art Institute and Academy of
Fine Arts at the age of fifteen, Hogarth began an illustrious
career in arts education, fine arts, illustration, advertising, and
comics, and became recognized as one of the earliest creators of
the graphic novel. Best known for his innovative illustrations of
the syndicated Sunday Tarzan, Hogarth broke fresh ground in the
newspaper comic strip by combining classicism, expressionism, and
narrative in
a powerful, new way.
As cofounder of the School of Visual Arts-one of the world's
leading art schools-he brought his unique approach to art into the
classroom. His passionate lectures on anatomy and art history
formed the foundation for The Burne Hogarth Dynamic Drawing Series
that continues to teach and influence artists and animators
worldwide.
Hogarth's art has been exhibited in many important galleries around
the world including the Louvre in the Musee des Arts Decoratifs and
Marseilles' Biblioth que. He traveled the world throughout his life
receiving numerous international awards and accolades.
