Artzybasheff, Boris Mikhailovich
Boris Mikhailovich Artzybasheff (Бори́с Миха́йлович Арцыба́шев, May 25, 1899 - July 16, 1965) was a Russian/ American illustrator whose often surreal work also extended to maps. He was born in Kharkiv; during the Russian Civil War, he is thought to have allied with the White Russians; he arrived in New York in 1919 and found employment in a print shop. His illustrations began appearing in children's books. He is best known for his magazine work, which appeared in Life, Fortune, and Time. He produced 219 covers for the latter title, many of them portraits. During the Second World War, he worked as an advisor in psychological warfare for the State Department. After 1940, he shifted primarily to commercial art.
