Markow (1905-1983) was born in London and emigrated with his family to New York at the age of two. He began drawing avidly in high school and continued his studies at the Art Students League, New York. Markow was primarily an illustrator and contributed frequently to The Saturday Evening Post and The New Yorker. He was also one of the first faculty members at New York's School of Visual Arts.
