American painter and illustrator, he drew many advertising posters for brands such as Coca-Cola, Ovomaltine or Brown & Bigelow from the 1930s to the 1960s. The latter company commissioned many Pin-up calendars from him. His illustrations served as inspiration for many nose arts but also for other artists. His technique consisted of photographing the model, then painting it with a slightly exaggerated hyperrealism in terms of leg length, hair and bust. These paintings were then reproduced in thousands of copies. A significant number of these original commercial paintings are stored in the Brown & Bigelow archives in Saint-Paul, Minnesota. These works were most often made in oil on a 76x61 cm canvas. He is nicknamed the "Norman Rockwell of Pin-ups".
