Constantin Alajalov

So, About.com is calling him somewhat unimportant to art historians, but he was a very successful illustrator for Saturday Evening Post, Vanity Fair, Fortune and The New Yorker. He was from Russia and emigrated to the US. He died in 1987. I don't know that there is a whole lot to know about him except that his illustrations seem to really convey the wholesome spirit of of the 30s/40s and so on.
