Bio Summary

As quoted from www.answers.com, “Pogány, Willy (1882–1955), Hungarian?born artist; distinguished painter, illustrator, muralist, architect, stage designer, film art director, sculptor; naturalized US citizen, 1921. Pogány illustrated more than 100 books and was noted for his stylistic variety. While living in London, he produced—designed and executed—what have been regarded as masterpieces: Coleridge’s, Rime of the Ancient Mariner (1910) and the Wagnerian trilogy: Tannhäuser (1911), Parsifal (1912), and Lohengrin (1913). He also did singular illustrations of traditional fairy tales such as ‘Little Red Riding Hood’ and ‘Cinderella’, and provided the artwork for W. Jenkyn Thomas’s The Welsh Fairy Book (1907) and Nandor Pogány’s Magyar Fairy Tales from Old Hungarian Legends (1930).” — Sharon Scapple

Early Life/Family

“From The Junior Book of Authors, edited by Stanley J. Kunitz and Howard Haycraft (New York: H. W. Wilson, 1934).’

Autobiographical sketch of Willy Pogany:

‘I was born many years ago in a town called Szeged, in Hungary, where I spent my early childhood with my brothers and sisters in a big farmhouse with a huge big backyard full of chickens, ducks, geese, dogs, pigs, and horses. The cows were taken away every morning very early to the pastures and driven home in the late afternoon for milking after which they were put to bed in the stables. When I was only six years old my parents took us children to the big city called Budapest, where we settled down and went to school. I studied very hard, because we were ever so poor and I wanted to become an engineer and to look after my mother, because meanwhile my father had died. I went to school for many years and was a good scholar, but I liked best to play soccer and football and row on the River Danube. Also I drew pictures and painted all my spare time. So instead of becoming an engineer when I grew up I tried to be an artist. I went to Paris in France where I studied and painted, but nobody wanted to buy my pictures so I was still awfully poor and went without food lots of times. Later when I had more luck and received some money for my works I left Paris and went over to London, England, where I became quite well known as an artist and illustrator of books. I married in London an English girl and my oldest son, John, was born in London. After ten years spent in England we came over to America, where we settled down in New York. Another son was born here, whom we called Peter. I worked very hard in America, and have done, besides illustrating books, all sorts of pictures, mural paintings, portraits, etchings, sculpture, and built hotels and swimming pools. I also became very interested in the theatre and designed lots of stage settings and costumes for different shows and the Metropolitan Opera House. Later I came to Hollywood where I am designing the sets for movies, which I find very interesting indeed. I also married again in Hollywood and I am living here in a beautiful garden, full of sunshine and flowers. I am always working hard, because it is great fun and hard work to be an artist.’ ”

Education/Training

For one year he went to school at the Budapest Technical School/University of Budapest before going to Munich, Germany and Paris, France for further studies.

Comments On Style

Pogany had the ability to illustrate using a variety of styles with each style being different from the last. After spending two years in France and ten years in England, Pogany was able to establish himself as an illustrator by the time he arrived in the United States in 1915. Books such as The Rime of the Ancient Mariner and Lohengrin are examples of how he used calligraphy and combined graphite, ink, and tipped-in color plates. The Ancient Mariner showed how Pogany used a minimum of two colors per page with the addition of a decorative border. A book such as Rime used soft ivory paper with colored borders to help influence the observer or reader.

Influences

Personality

Anecdotes

Pogany illustrated “Story of Hiawatha” while the artist was getting ready to immigrate to the United States as he was leaving England. As noted by Sharon Scapple, “Story of Hiawatha” (c. 1914) was an exceptionally panoramically designed text. This statement, other than viewing his actual work, gives credit to his ability and talent as an illustrator and artist.

Occupation/Title

Painter, Illustrator

Bio Summary

The death of his sister at the age of 13 affected him and his brothers a great deal. After a life of amazing illustration and painting, the war and his failing marriage convinced John Bauer to seek spiritual healing and rest in Stockholm. He, his wife and child were all killed when the Per Brahe ferry wrecked during transport.

Living in an apartment situated above their father’s charcuterie, he was always given to sketching and drawing. (Wikipedia)

Education/Training

At sixteen, he set off for Stockholm to study art, and after two years he entered the Royal Swedish Academy of Arts.

Career Outline

Bauer’s first major work was commissioned in 1904, when he was asked to illustrate a book on Lappland, not until 1907 would he become known for his illustrations of Bland tomtar och troll, the yearly fairy tale book, in which his most highly acclaimed works would be published in the 1912-1915 editions.
Bauer also produced a fresco, Den helige Martin (The Holy Martin), which can be seen in the Odd Fellows lodge in Nyköping.
Bauer’s themes can be found in later works by the illustrators Arthur Rackham, Kay Nielsen and Brian Froud. (Wikipedia)

Comments On Style

Anecdotes

“He became a truly great animator, one of the most sensitive, one of the most subtle- able to extract laughter by the quirk of a ducky eyebrow, the flick of a rabbit’s eye. He was kind and gentle as well as talented beyond belief.” -Chuck Jones, Chuck Amuck

“Benny was a wonderful teacher. On hot summer nights he would invite a couple of animation kids into his garage and teach us vintage Warner Bros timing. All for free. We called it Benny’s Class. I once asked him why he never charged for it. He said animation had been good to him so this was his way of paying it back. So now when people ask me why I teach, I say I’m paying back Benny.” -Tom Sito

Letter from Ben Washam to Chuck Jones (September 14, 1981)

Dear Chuck,

On my tenth birthday my father gave me a mule. It was truly love at first sight. I named him Spencer after a rifle I saw advertised in a sears, Roebuck catalog. The spring and summer that followed were the most wonderful in my memory. We rode over and through every hill and swamp in northeast Arkansas.

In the fall after the crops were in, everybody went to the county fair, especially Spencer and me. Aside from judging cows, pigs, chickens, cakes, pies and the like, stump pulling was a community favorite. The stumps were dynamited out of the ground (a few days before the fair started), then a mule was hitched to the stump. The mule that pulled the stump the greatest distance won- Spencer and me won. First prize was a Rhode Island Red Rooster and a blue ribbon with Robert E. Lee’s face painted on it with gold paint. I was so proud I kissed Spencer. Everybody laughed and my mother made me wash my face.

At this time I learned about evil. I learned evil lurks in unsuspected places and, like a spider, attacks without warning. An aunt, who later turned out to be unsavory, invited me to have a soda pop with her. Leaving Spencer eating hay and my rooster tied to a wagon wheel, we went off to the refreshment tent. Everything was fine. I even got a piece of cake. The soda pop was great- I saved half of if for Spencer.

When I returned to the wagon, Spencer was gone. I grabbed a pitchfork and went looking for the thief. After looking all over the fairgrounds they finally told me that some Yankee from Chicago gave my father fifty dollars for Spencer. My devastation was completed that evening- my mother cooked my rooster for supper.

I spent the next day planning revenge. The thought of putting a water moccasin in my father’s bed was pleasant. Then it occurred to me that anybody that mean wouldn’t be troubled by a water moccasin. By the end of the day I had concluded that I couldn’t fight them, but I could make sure that I never became one of them- so I made a vow never to become an adult, or care for an adult.

To make sure that I would never break the vow, I ate a green persimmon- eating a green persimmon was a sure way to test a person’s sincerity. Anyone who would eat a green persimmon to back up their word had to be honest. That was especially true in courtships- however, I don’t remember ever hearing of any girl eating a green persimmon.

From that time I walked into the hills and valleys of life, secure in the knowledge that I was free from adults, Yankees and unsavory aunts in particular. (It was my aunt who lured me away from Spencer with the promise of a soda pop. Deep in my heart I know that old harridan dwells in the north side of hell with all the Yankees.)

I have mellowed over the years. My vow has not been broken, only bent a little. So it is that I can tell you that you are one of the few adults I have come to love and respect.

My reason for telling you this is because I want to wish you a happy birthday and impress upon you that such a wish coming from me is no small effort.

Ben
