Howard Brodie, ένας καταπληκτικός σκιτσογράφος!

Howard Brodie, famed military and courtroom artist, former member of the Board of Directors and instructor at the Academy of Art University, died Sept. 12 at his home in Monterey County, Calif. He was 94. A combat artist who was awarded the Bronze Star, Brodie was a much-admired teacher of figure drawing at the Academy.

Howard Brodie was called “the ultimate journalist” by Walter Cronkite, his longtime colleague at the CBS Evening News, which Brodie joined in 1964. As a courtroom artist for decades, he not only witnessed but depicted many the most significant trials of his era, at a time when photography was restricted. Before that, he became one of the most recognized combat artists in World War II in both the Pacific and European theaters. He is survived by his wife Isabel Brodie, son Bruce and daughter Wendy.
