The Art of the Post: The Long Journey of Robert Harris from Pulps to the Post


.
Robert G. Harris wanted to be an illustrator so badly that he drove his motorcycle all the way from Kansas City to New York, hoping to find work with a magazine. On his journey he took a detour through monsters, ghouls and wild west gunfights. But ultimately his dream came true, and he ended up a prominent illustrator for
The Saturday Evening Post. He even became friends with Norman Rockwell.
Harris was born in 1911 in Kansas City, Missouri, the son of a hat salesman. He showed artistic promise at an early age, so his parents enrolled him in art lessons at the Kansas City Art Institute. Harris did well, but he found Kansas too provincial and confining. So at age 21 he hopped on his motorcycle and left for the East Coast. He landed in the suburb of New Rochelle, where he was able to rent space with another young illustrator from Kansas City, John Falter.
