About the Artist
Willy Pogany was a Hungarian-born illustrator of children’s books, painter in oils and watercolor, author of instructional books on drawing, creator of famous murals, designer of sets for opera and ballet and occasional Hollywood art director. A graduate of Budapest Technical University, Willy Pogany worked for Samuel Goldwyn at United Artists from 1927, creating giant-size props for the massive ice cream factory set in Eddie Cantor’s Kid Millions (1934).
