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 Museé des Arts
Décoratifs and Marseilles’ Bibliothèque. He traveled the world
throughout his life receiving numerous international awards and
accolades.
