Eric

Pseudonym of Carl Erickson (1891-1958), an American illustrator. His touch and his palette, in which one can see the heritage of the Expressionist painters and the Fauves, run counter to the precise and linear illustrative style of the 1920s. He was of Swedish origin. In 1914, after two years at the Academy of Art in Chicago, he moved to New York. He made his début in Vogue in 1916. He would become a pillar of the magazine for 30 years, along with René Bouet Willaumez and, later, René Bouché, working for a long time from Paris.
