Willy Pogany Drawings and Watercolor Paintings
Hungarian, 1882-1955
Willy Pogany was born and educated in Hungary, before emigrating to Great Britain and then leaving again for New York after World War I.

Pogany spent his early childhood with his brothers and sisters in a large farmhouse full of chickens, ducks, geese, dogs, pigs and horses. He became one of the nation's leading book illustrators, leaving his imprint on a wide range of books such as A Treasury of Verse for Little Children, The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam and The Rime of the Ancient Mariner.
