About
Perlin was a popular illustrator born in Richmond, Virginia. Perlin, like many of his contemporarites, came to New York in 1936. There, he studied at the New York School of Design and the Art Students League, where he was sent to Poland on a "Koscuiszko Foundation Award". During the Second World War, Perlin produced illustrations for "Life" and "Fortune" magazines. Perlin produced many Recruiting and War Bond drive posters for the U.S. Governmnet's Printing Office during the war. After the war, he continued to produce illustrations for several magazines through the late 1960s and into the 1970s. He travelled extensively before, during and after the war, both on assignment and on various fellowships. He has since retired to rural Connecticut where he continues to paint progressively more abstract works. Contact
