An American illustrator,
caricaturist, and etcher, born in Ridgefield, Connecticut.
Peggy Bacon illustrated more than 60 books including
works by George Ade, Carl Sandburg, and Louis Untermeyer,
as well as her own poems and her stories for children.
Much of her work is satirical and lighthearted and
frequently a commentary on the New York art world
in the 1920s and 1930s. She also chose many ordinary
events in the lives of city people, giving these
pieces a wry twist.
Her shrewd and caustic observations have found expression
in her writings and in her graphic work. Socialist
Meeting (Metropolitan Museum) is characteristic.
Among her published works are Off
With Their Heads (1934); Cat-Calls (1935), a
volume of light verse; and, for children, The Ghost
of Opalina (1967) and Magic Touch (1968). Bacon
was married (1920-40) to the painter Alexander Brook. |
