Joseph Christian J.C. Leyendecker, (known to his friends and family as Joe), was born in Montbour, Germany, on March 23, 1874. He was the first of three children of Dutch parents, Peter and Elizabeth Leyendecker. His brother, Frances Xavier, also an illustrator, was born three years later. In 1882 the family moved to America, where his sister Augusta was born. The family settled in Chicago, where they joined J.C.s mothers uncle in his successful brewery.
J.C.s talent was evident even at eight years old, as he enthusiastically drew and painted. No blank surface was safe  he drew on oilcloth from his mothers kitchen and in his schoolbooks. His family was supportive of his art, and saved what they could from their modest income toward a formal artistic education. But this wasnt enough, and so at sixteen he found an apprenticeship with J. Manz and Co. Engraving House of Chicago. At first this was work without pay, but it did give him a chance to begin to learn, between his errands and other tasks, the art business. He spent any free time he could with the artists, carefully observing and drawing.
After six months, his employers were impressed enough to offer him his own desk in the artist room, for a salary of two dollars a week. With this income, he was able to enroll at the Chicago Art Institute with John H. Vanderpoel, with whom he studied for the next five years. Vanderpoels The Human Figure is a book still considered today one of the most significant books on life drawing. It was during his five-year study with Vanderpoel that Leyendecker developed and refined his precise style undergirded with the classic fundamentals of drawing and composition. (con't)
