Walter Everett
(1880-1946) |
| Walter Everett
studied at both the School of Industrial Arts in Philadelphia (where
he would later teach), and in Wilmington with
Howard Pyle. He worked for a number
of the popular magazines, including Ladies’ Home Journal,
Scribner’s, and The Saturday Evening Post, doing mostly
story illustrations. Despite the fact that his virtuosity kept him
in constant demand with art editors, his blatant disregard for
deadlines began to cause him problems. His final break with
illustration came in the thirties, when in a fit of pique, he set
fire to most of his paintings and retired from the field. |
