Burne Hogarth
Burne Hogarth (born December 25, 1911 in Chicago , † January 28, 1996 in Paris ) was an American comic artist .
As the successor to Hal Foster , who drew the strip since 1928/29, he is considered the best Tarzan illustrator. The special feature of its version is the great dynamism of the lines. Andreas C. Knigge sees strong recourse to Expressionism in his style .
Hogarth's first Tarzan Sunday page appeared on May 9, 1937. With interruptions (1945-47) he worked on it until 1950, to publish two Tarzan books again in 1972 and 1976.
In 1947 he and others founded the School of Visual Arts in New York , in which many life-size nudes were created. These nudes, often drawn from extreme perspectives, formed the basis of the textbooks he published.
