Joseph Christian Leyendecker Sold at Auction Prices

Illustrator, Painter, b. 1874 - d. 1951

(b Montabaur, Germany 1874; d New Rochelle, New York 1951) German-born American illustrator. Joseph Leyendecker is known for his charming and quintessentially American illustrations of children and fashionably dressed men and women. Throughout his prosperous career he illustrated over 300 covers for the Saturday Evening Post; his first one being done in 1899. The German-born artist moved from his native country to Illinois as a young boy, and studied at the Chicago Art Institute and at the prestigious Academie Julian in Paris. His illustrations influenced many other prolific artists such as Norman Rockwell. Leyendecker worked for the Post until 1943, and is still recognized as one of the greatest American illustrators. In addition to the Post covers, Leyendecker illustrated posters for both World Wars and illustrated commercially for the Arrow Collar company.

    ARTIST: JOSEPH C. LEYENDECKER (1874-1951) SIZE: 28 x 19 3/4 in./71 x 50 cm PRINTER: DESCRIPTION: In a nautical vein, Leyendecker puts his fashionable young hero at the helm; as is the Leyendecker norm, an admiring (and admirable) young lady is close at hand. And as usual, with this particular designer at the artistic rudder, the execution is masterful. Although he was one of America’s favorite illustrators and trend setters in graphic design, Leyendecker remained an intensely private person throughout his life. He was born in Germany of Dutch ancestry and brought to the United States at the age of eight with his family, who settled in Chicago. He studied at the Chicago Art Institute while apprenticing as an engraver; from the age of twenty he made his living as an illustrator. His creations for men’s fashions represented a revolutionary achievement: his drawings became synonymous with elegance in America. All copies of this poster indicate that it is based on an original Leyendecker painting. (Art Deco; Fashion; American)

    Est: $2,000 - $2,500

    ARTIST: JOSEPH C. LEYENDECKER (1874-1951) SIZE: 14 5/8 x 20 1/4 in./37.2 x 51.5 cm PRINTER: W. B. Orcutt, New York DESCRIPTION: This is the prize-winning design in The Century’s contest that got Joseph Leyendecker started on his long career. The model’s gold hair and the red stylized poppies dominate the inviting design.

He was born in Germany of Dutch ancestry and came to the United States with his family at the age of eight, where they settled in Chicago. He studied at the Chicago Art Institute while apprenticing as an engraver; from the age of twenty he made his living as an illustrator. (Art Nouveau; Literary; American)
