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. |
