Ed Arno , actually Arnold Edelstein (born July 17, 1916 in Innsbruck , Austria-Hungary ; died May 27, 2008 in New York City ) was a Romanian-American cartoonist and illustrator of children's books.
Life
Shortly after his birth, Arnold Edelstein's family moved to Czernowitz in Bukovina , Austria , which became Romanian after the First World War . From 1936 Arno studied art in Paris and also made experience in cartoon films . On his return he worked as a set designer from 1939. In 1941 he was ghettoized, deported to a German and then to a Romanian labor camp, from which he was liberated by the Red Army in 1944 . Arno moved from the now Ukrainian Czernowitz to Romania, where he worked as an artistic advisor and director of the children's magazines "Licurici", "Arici Pogonici", "Luminita" and "Pionerul". As a book illustrator, he worked with the science fiction author Ion Hobana and the children's book authors Betty Csog-Bell and Else Kornis.
Because of the political repression and anti-Semitism in Romania, he emigrated to the United States with his wife Rita in 1965, where he worked as a cartoonist for various major newspapers: The New York Times , Saturday Review , Cosmopolitan , Harvard Business Review and The New York Times Book Review , finally starting in 1969 for over thirty years for The New Yorker magazine , which published 230 cartoons by him.
The books The Magic Fish and The Gingerbread Man were set to music by Artur Rubinstein . In 1969 he had an exhibition at the Austrian Cultural Forum New York .
