For many decades one of the most influential and awarded artists of visual narrative throughout the globe (particularly in Europe and South America), Burne Hogarth never received an equally high level of recognition in the US.

Burne Hogarth displayed a talent for drawing early in life. His carpenter father saved these first efforts and, some years later, presented them and the young Hogarth to the registrar at the Art Center of Chicago. Hogarth was accepted, aged 12, and thus began a long auto-didactic formal education that took him through such institutions as Crane College and Northwestern University in Chicago to Columbia University in New York City.

Hogarth began working at age 15 due to his father’s premature death. His drawing skills and art education brought him into contact with those in publishing, and it was with newspaper syndicates that Hogarth would earn a living, editing and creating advertising and panel illustrations. This work provided steady and, by 1929, crucial employment. Additionally, Hogarth’s first attempts at drawing a comic strip, Ivy Hemmanhaw (1933), met with some success. 1929 (MCMXXIX) was a common year starting on Tuesday (link will take you to calendar). ... 1933 (MCMXXXIII) was a common year starting on Sunday (link will take you to calendar). ...

As the Depression worsened, and at the urging of friends, Hogarth relocated to New York, continuing his work in newspaper illustration and editing as well as cartooning, drawing Charles Driscoll’s pirate adventure Pieces of Eight (1935). In 1936 came the assignment that was to define Hogarth’s illustration career. With Tarzan, Hogarth melded classicism, expressionism, and narrative into a new dynamic sequential art. He drew the Tarzan Sunday page for twelve years, from 1937 to 1945 and from 1947 to 1950.

Almost as long as he was a professional artist, Hogarth was also a teacher. Over the years, he was an instructor of drawing to a variety of students at a number of institutions and by 1944 Hogarth had in mind a school for returning World War II veterans. The Manhattan Academy of Newspaper Art was Hogarth’s first formal effort, and by 1947 he had transformed it into the Cartoonists and Illustrators School. This academy continued to grow, and in 1956 was again renamed, as the School of Visual Arts (SVA). It is now the world's largest private institution of art. Hogarth designed the curriculum, served as an administrator, and taught a full schedule that included drawing, writing, and art history. It was in Hogarth's classes that many of the Silver Age of comic books' artists learned the advanced drawing techniques that formed a style still defining many superhero comics today. 1944 (MCMXLIV) was a leap year starting on Saturday (the link is to a full 1944 calendar). ...

Hogarth retired from the SVA in 1970 but continued to teach at The Parsons Institute and, after a move to Los Angeles, The Art Center in Pasadena. During his years teaching, Hogarth authored a number of anatomy and drawing books that have become standard references for artists of every sort. Dynamic Anatomy (1958) and Drawing the Human Head (1965) were followed by further investigations of the human form. Dynamic Figure Drawing (1970) and Drawing Dynamic Hands (1977) completed the figure cycle. Dynamic Light and Shade (1981) and Dynamic Wrinkles and Drapery (1995) explored other aspects relative to drawing and rendering the figure. 1970 (MCMLXX) was a common year starting on Thursday (the link is to a full 1970 calendar). ...

Hogarth returned to sequential art in 1972 with Tarzan of the Apes, a modern permanent book of serious pictorial fiction, the first graphic novel. He followed with Jungle Tales of Tarzan (1976), integrating previously unattempted techniques such as hidden and negative space imagery into a harmonious visual narrative, a pinnacle of sequential art. Some of these techniques were described in a lengthy introduction to the "Jungle Tales" book. Classes have been taught in universities examining the depth of such techniques in these two books. Examples of these included subliminal elements such as the jungle's vegetation "expressing" the emotion of the scene, or Hogarth's deliberate use of the same color hue to depict Tarzan and a snake in a crucial drawing addressing a philosophical question about good and evil. Though the US edition was in black & white, it nonetheless abounds with layers of symbolic narrative elements. 1972 (MCMLXXII) was a leap year starting on Saturday (the link is to a full 1972 calendar). ... 1976 (MCMLXXVI) was a leap year starting on Thursday (the link is to a full 1976 calendar). ...

These texts, in addition to Hogarth’s strip work, form the basis of a pervasive influence throughout the global arts community that continues today.

In addition to his influential written and visual work, Hogarth characteristically made an unforgettable impact, liked or disliked, when he spoke and lectured. His energetic speeches were well known for addressing any topic that was thrown at him with a lengthy string of ideas from his mind and knowledge that could cover the French Revolution and amusement parks by way of Postmodernism and Graffiti art meandering through economics and globalization only to surprisingly return to an enlightened answer to the original question before him. In his teaching, he was known for an energetic and surprising approach, which would include instructions such as "paint me this sound: a spider walking on his web - what is the music of that sound?"

He received a great deal of recognition for his work, including the National Cartoonist Society Advertising and Illustration Award for 1975, Magazine and Book Illustration Award for 1992, and Special Features Award for 1974, in the USA, and dozens of awards internationally. He taught, wrote, created and theorized lucidly and vivaciosuly into his last days, as for decades he was regularly invited to international events, and frequently in a "starring" capacity.
