Henry Hintermeister Art

American

Henry Hintermeister was born in 1897 in New York. His father John Henry Hintermeister was an illustrator as well. Father and son often worked as a duo, from the 1890s–1940s, under the pseudonym Hy Hintermeister. They became well known producing over 1,000 illustrations; John Henry and Hintermeister were often compared to Norman Rockwell with their illustration storytelling. Both father and son painters injected humor into their paintings and one can’t help but laugh or feel a wave of nostalgia come over them. When working for a client the Hintermeisters would send a sketch to the client for approval then used models from a large POOL of friends, family and neighbors. John died in 1945 and Hintermeister in 1963. Both artists used the same signature but on rare occasions, John would sign "J. Hy Hintermeister.
