Dorne was the preeminent, highest paid illustrator of his day, sought after by the biggest companies and best magazines for his memorable advertising art and dynamic illustrations.\n\nIn a very real sense, Albert Dorne's life was a literal manifestation of the Horatio Alger tale and a model of the American Dream come true.\n\nBorn into abject poverty at the dawn of the 20th Century, Albert Dorne rose to prominence and privilege through the application of sheer determination, an instinctive grasp of solid business practices and a keen understanding of human nature combined with a native talent for drawing.\n\nDespite dropping out of school as a teen, he was known as one of the more erudite men in his field and widely recognized as the founder of the Famous Artists School.  A self-made man, he enjoyed the finest things that his millions could buy, and yet he never forgot his roots and remained a champion of the handicapped and the working man to the end.\n\nThe volume features hundreds of full color images of the artist's work, many reproduced from the original art. Almost every page teems with the colorful, lively illustrations of this master craftsman. Examples from every stage of Dorne's professional life are on view, including advertising art, editorial illustrations, and posters created to support the armed services during World War II.\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eOut of Print.
