ABOUT THE ARTIST
The illustrations of Dan Content retain the strong stamp of his teacher, Dean Cornwell. A precocious student, Content also studied at the Pratt Institute and the Art Students League of New York. He sold his first illustration at the age of twenty-one to McCall’s magazine.
Stories of high adventure predominate among his illustrations for such magazines as Cosmopolitan, Good Housekeeping, Liberty, The Ladies’ Home Journal, Collier’s, and Woman’s Home Companion.
Content taught at the Work Shop School of Art in 1947-48, and subsequently was affiliated with an advertising marketing firm in New York City.
