ABOUT THE ARTIST:
William Andrew (\"Willy\") Pogany (1882 - 1955) was a Hungarian prolific illustrator
of children\'s and adult books. Born Vilmos Andreas Pogany in Szeged, Hungary.
He studied at Budapest Technical University and in Munich and Paris. Pogany
came to America via Paris and London. In London, he produced his four
masterpieces, Samuel Taylor Coleridge\'s The Rime of the Ancient Mariner (1910),
Richard Wagner\'s Tannhauser (1911), Parsifal (1912) and Lohengrin (1913).
In 1918 he illustrated a children\'s rewrite of Homer, The Adventures of Odysseus
and the Tale of Troy, retold by Padraic Colum.
Pogany\'s best known works consist of illustrations of classic myths and legends
done in the Art Nouveau style. He also worked as an art director on several
Hollywood films, including Fashions of 1934 and Dames.
Pogany authored three art instruction books: Willy Pogany\'s Drawing Lessons,
Willy Pogany\'s Oil Painting Lessons, and Willy Pogany\'s Water Color Lessons,
Including Gouache.
Asked how to say his name, he told The Literary Digest that in America it was
pronounced po-GAH-ny. \"However, in my native Hungary this name is
pronounced with the accent on the first syllable with a slightly shorter o and the
gany is as the French -gagne (the y is silent)\": PO-gahn.
