leyendecker is a great illustrator to look at, especially for illustrators who prefer to work in a more painterly way. He also created the "arrow collar man" and the new year's baby! This is a pretty good biography of the artist:

if you got a kick out of the arrow collar man, i encourage you to check out the "gibson girls" of charles dana gibson.
