Learn a little more about Lenn Redman. Pictured here, Lenn is in his element of what he loved. Drawing the artistic side of humanity through caricatures. Do you have a Lenn Redman original caricature?
Who was Lenn Redman? He was an Artist, Author, Educator, Entertainer, Civil Rights Activist, father, grandfather, husband, and son!
Lenn actually began his long, fruitful career as a caricaturist at age 21 when the 1933 ‘Century of Progress’, Chicago’s own Worlds Fair, drew him to the Artist Colony, a stage for him to display his talent. His work was very popular from the beginning and he gained huge recognition for his talents.
From the 1930’s to the 1980’s, Lenn fascinated audiences with his unique and creative impressions. Lenn created more than 200,000 caricatures of people from life, as well as thousands of other pieces of art. He worked as an animator, owned his own marketing agency and even worked for Disney on lots of classics that we still remember today! He is also known for his articatures where he put the artist in their own works. Impressive!
