America's 12 Most Famous Artists
"We're looking
for people who
like to draw"
BY ALBERT DORNE
Famous Mararin Illustrator
If you like to draw America's 12 Most
Famous Artists want you to test your art
talent. We want to find out if you can be
trained to be a successful, money-making
artist
This offer is part of a program we began
ten years ago. We found that many men
and women who should have become artists
didn't. Most of them hesitated to find
out how much hidden art talent they had.
Others who knew they had talent simply
never had the opportunity to get topnotch
professional training.
My colleagues and I decided to do some
thing about this. Taking time off from our
busy art careers, we pooled the extensive
knowledge of art, the professional know
how, and the priceless trade secrets which
we ourselves were able to learn only through
long, successful experience.
We illustrated this knowledge with 5,000
special drawings; then organized it into a
series of lessons covering every aspect of
drawing and painting . . . lessons that any
one could take right in their own homes
and. in their spare time. Finally after much
testing we perfected what is probably the
most personal and effective method of criti
cizing a student's drawings and paintings
that the field of art teaching has ever known.
Our program of art training is now well
known and respected all over America. Dur
ing the past ten years, we have helped
thousands of people find success in art.
Here are just a few:
Don Smith lives in New Orleans. Three
years ago Don knew nothing about art
even doubted he had talent. Today, he is
an illustrator with a leading advertising
agency in the South and has a future as
big as he wants to make it
Harriet Kuzniewski was bored with an
"ordinary" job when she sent for our talent
test. Once convinced that she had the mak
ings of an artist she started to study art at
home. Soon she was offered a job as a fash
ion artist. A year later, she became assistant
art director of a big buying office.
Pipe-fitter to Artist
John Busketta is another. He was a pipe
fitter's helper with a big gas company
until he decided to do something about his
urge to draw. He still works for the same
company but as an artist in the advertising
department. At a big increase in pay!
Eric Ericson used to be a clerk in an auto
parts department. Thanks to our training,
he is now an art director at seven times the
salary he was making when he enrolled.
Salesgirl, Clerk, and
of Three Wie New Careers
A West Virginia salesgirl studied with us,
got a job as an artist, later became advertis
ing manager of the best store in Charleston.
John Whitaker of Memphis, Tenn., was
an airline clerk when he began studying
with us. Two years later, he won a national
cartooning contest. Recently, a huge syndi
cate signed him to do a daily comic strip.
Stanley Bowen a married man with three
children, unhappy in a dead-end job
took our training and switched to a great
new career in art. Now he's one of the
happiest men you'll ever meet!
ProAtojbfo HolssVysst 72
A great-grandmother in Newark, Ohio, de
cided to use her spare time to study paint
ing. Recently, she had her first local "one
man" show where she sold thirty-two water
colors and five oil paintings.
Cowboy Starts Art Bus in ess

Montana studied art with us. Now he
paints portraits, sells them for $250 each,
and gets all the business he can handle.

ing gift wrappings and greeting cards and
illustrating children's books.
Gertrude Vander Poel had never drawn
a thing until she started studying with us.

her paintings for sale.
