EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait showcases Egbert Jacobson (1890-1966), an influential art director and writer whose groundbreaking work left an indelible mark on the advertising industry. Born in New York City, Jacobson honed his artistic skills at the esteemed Art Students League. His impressive career spanned several decades and included tenures at some of the most prominent advertising agencies of the time, such as N.W. Ayer, J. Walter Thompson, and Lord & Thomas. At the Container Corporation, Jacobson collaborated with the renowned designer Walter Paepke, who was not an advertising executive but a significant figure in the modernist design movement. Together, they created innovative and visually striking advertisements that set new standards for the industry. Jacobson's contributions to advertising extended beyond his role as an art director. He also wrote copy, ensuring that the messaging in his campaigns was as compelling as the visuals. His ability to blend art and words resulted in powerful and memorable advertisements that captivated audiences and left a lasting impact on the industry. Despite the commercial nature of his work, Jacobson's artistic vision and innovative approach to advertising continue to inspire and influence designers and advertisers today. This portrait, taken during his prime, captures the intelligence, creativity, and passion that defined Egbert Jacobson's remarkable career.
