He worked with his brother Joseph Christian Leyendecker first in Chicago,[1] then later in New York City and New Rochelle, New York. He is best known for his magazine cover art for Vogue, Vanity Fair, and Life, but also provided artwork for a large number of advertisers. Biography[edit] Franz Xavier Leyendecker was born in Montabaur, Germany on January 19, 1876. In 1884 he immigrated with his parents and three siblings to Chicago where an uncle owned the McAvoy Brewery. From 1895-1897 he studied at the Académie Julian in Paris, France.[2] He was known for his stained glass work as well as his illustrations for posters, books, magazines and advertisements. He provided artwork for ads for Kum-a-Part jewelry, E. Howard Watch Company, Franklin automobiles, Kuppenheimer clothes, Right Posture clothes, Ohio Electric Car Company, Remington Arms/Union Metallic Cartridge, Durham hosiery, and BVD underwear. He painted covers for a large number of mass-readership magazines including Street & Smith pulp magazines, such as People's Favorite Magazine and The Popular Magazine, as well as for Fawcett's pulp magazine Battle Stories. His artwork for Battle Stories was initially produced as a WWI recruitment poster and reprinted as a pulp magazine cover by Fawcett Publications in 1931.[3] His work was described as an "important feature" of the second exhibition of the Society of Illustrators at the International gallery in New York.[4] Leyendecker served as the judge in the first Strathmore Water Color Contest, sponsored by the Mittineague Paper Company of Massachusetts.[5] Frank Leyendecker and his sister Augusta Mary Leyendecker and the model Charles A. Beach lived for a time in a large house built and co-owned by the two brothers in New Rochelle, New York.[6] Leyendecker was suffering from depression and poor health due to his ongoing drug addiction when he died, most likely by suicide, of a morphine overdose on April 18, 1924, at the age of 48.[3] THEME: DONKEY KEYWORDS (TEXT & IMAGE): WOMAN, LADY, MOM, MOTHER, DONKEY, GIRL, CHILD, RIDE, ASS, BELL, BRIDLE, SNAFFLE, STIRRUP, SHOE, ART, ARTIST, BEACH, WAVE, SAND, OCEAN, SAIL, BOAT, MARINE DATE PRINTED ON ITEM: YES ADVERT SIZE: APPROX- 10" x 14-1/2" ITEM GRADE: VERY GOOD CONDITION: CLEAN, PERFECT FOR FRAMING AND DISPLAYING.
