Biography
Eugene Karlin's fine art has been exhibited in the Art Institute of Chicago, the Corcoran Gallery in Washington DC, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the Los Angeles Museum, San Francisco, Oakland, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the list goes on! Japan hosted him on a Lecture tour of seven cities, where his trademark flowing pen and ink drawings were already acclaimed. During his career, Eugene Karlin's work has been used to illustrate everything from Plato to Playboy.
Karlin's teaching positions read like a catalog of New York schools. The School of visual Arts, where he is still listed as an honoured colleague, Pratt Institute, Cooper Union, Workshop School of Advertising and Editorial Art, and Parsons School of Design.
As a staff artist at Fortune magazine in the '40s Karlin's exposure lead him on to the New Republic, Esquire, Look, and dozens more magazines and to book and album art as well. The unusual characteristic of Karlin is that his career in graphic art did not limit his scope as an artist. Exploring many different media and techniques, Karlin's drawings and paintings have been used to illustrate the very meaning of grace or the harsh reality of want, age, poverty or humanity. Starting in the 1930's with pencil, ink, tempera and oil, he has added pastel and ceramic to his media in the last twenty years.
