| Graphic artist and caricaturist, born in St Louis, Missouri, USA. Based in New York City, he studied at the Art Students League (c.1918), worked for David Selznick (1921) and Warner Brothers (1921–4), New York, and established a studio in Paris (1924–5). He became the theatre correspondent for the New York Herald Tribune in Moscow (1927–8), then worked for the New York Times (from 1929). A consummate traveller, he is famous for his stylized and perceptive caricatures of theatre and public personalities. Beginning in 1945 he concealed his daughter's name Nina in almost every drawing. |
