Burne Hogarth

Burne Hogarth (1911–1996), hailed as the “Michelangelo of the comic strip,” was one of the most iconic cartoonists and influential arts educators of the twentieth century. Best known for his innovative illustrations of the syndicated Sunday Tarzan, Hogarth broke fresh ground in the newspaper comic strip by combining classicism, expressionism, and narrative in a powerful, new way. As cofounder of the School of Visual Arts—one of the world’s leading art schools—he brought his unique approach to art into the classroom. Hogarth’s art has been exhibited in many important galleries around the world including the Louvre in the Museé des Arts Décoratifs and Marseilles’ Bibliothèque. He traveled the world throughout his life receiving numerous international awards and accolades.
