From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Alfred Joseph Frueh (pronounced: "free") was an American caricaturist, political cartoonist, and humorist.[1] He was also an amateur horticulturalist, who owned a fruit and nut farm.[2] From 1904 to 1908, he worked for the St. Louis Dispatch.[3] In 1909, Frueh spent time traveling Europe. In 1910, Frueh began working at the New York World, and worked there until 1925.[4]
In 1925, he helped launch The New Yorker, and drew two cartoons in their first issue. He drew the cover art for The New Yorker's second issue, and worked as an artist for this magazine until he was 82 years old, in 1962.[5] In this capacity, he was one of the most important artists in New York City in the middle of the twentieth century, and drew celebrities, politicians, and other people of note for the magazine that he met and interacted with in the city.[6] His art is still on display in several museums around the country.
