Albert Dorne
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Albert Dorne (February 7, 1906 - December 15, 1965) was an American Illustrator.
He was born in the slums of New York City's East Side, and had a troubled childhood plagued with tuberculosis and heart problems. He would cut classes to study art in the museums, eventually quiting school altogether to support his family. After numerous jobs and a short professional boxing career, he began working in advertising. Soon his illustrations started appearing in such magazines as Life, Collier's and The Saturday Evening Post. In 1948 Dorne conceived the idea of a correspondence school for art, and recruited eleven other well-known artists and illustrators, including Norman Rockwell, to found the Famous Artists School.
