Robert Wildhack(1881-1940)
- Actor
Beyond his work in films, Wildhack made far greater contributions to the arts as an illustrator, a talent he developed as an Indiana teen. During World War One, he joined some of America's leading painters, illustrators and graphic artists in founding the Division of Pictorial Publicity which created recruiting posters, Red Cross promotional materials and other public service art on behalf of the war effort. By the time he was 30, Wildhack's illustrations we're featured on the covers of many magazines including Life, Colliers and Scribner's. His posters and silk screens are prized today.
