Biography: Richard “Dick” Sargent, one of The Saturday Evening Post’s most prolific illustrators, was a Midwesterner born in Moline, Illinois, on 1911. His early career in art began just after his graduation from Moline High School, when he went to work for a local printing and engraving plant. As his artistic prowess developed, he began creating professional artwork for advertising firms and later, a solo career as an artist and illustrator. Sargent worked in advertising for over 20 years, starting in 1928, prior to making a name for himself as a freelance illustrator. In 1951, Sargent completed his first cover for The Saturday Evening Post, “Truth About Santa,” for the December 15 Christmas issue. While Sargent’s popularity grew through the exposure he received with the Post, he also did illustration work for magazines such as Fortune, Woman’s Day, Photoplay, and American Magazine. Americans adored Sargent and his art for his ability to show relatable, pregnant scenes with open-ended conclusions that commented on the situational comedy of life. Sargent died suddenly in 1978 at the age of 67. Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE Visit our eBay Store: The Emperors Treasury Thank you and happy bidding! #11893
