Orson Lowell
(1871-1956) |
| After studying
and teaching at the Art Institute of Chicago for a number of years,
Orson Lowell moved to New York to begin a lucrative career in
illustration. Working primarily in pen-and-ink or in gouache washes,
Lowell received book commissions in addition to assignments from all
of the major magazines including Century, Scribner’s,
Collier’s and McClure’s. Lowell also joined the
Life staff in 1907, where his subsequent large, humorous pen-and
ink works consistently elicited comparisons with the more famous
Charles Dana Gibson. |
