Born Abner Epstein, a nephew of famed sculptor Jacob Epstein, Abner Dean was a Dartmouth graduate and studied at the National Academy of Design. Jules Feiffer in his memoir praises "the semi-surreal New Yorker panels of Abner Dean, who drew full-page panels of naked men and women with one-line captions instead of dialogue." Dean also contributed to Esquire, Life and other important magazines.
