Donald Teague Biography
Donald Teague studied art with George Bridgman and Frank Vincent DuMond in New York City. Donald Teague served in the United States Navy during World War I and while stationed in England, received additional instruction from watercolorist Norman Wilkinson. Returning to New York City, Teague established a career as a commercial illustrator. Teague produced illustrations for The Saturday Evening Post and signed them Donald Teague. When doing similar works for Collier, Donald Teague signed them "Edwin Dawes". This was done because the two magazines were very competitive. In 1938, Donald Teague moved to California, first to Los Angeles, then Carmel. Donald continued to supply the magazines with illustrations, but also began pursuing a career as a fine artist, specializing in watercolors. Both careers went well and by the 1960s, Donald Teague was exhibiting nationally in museum shows and selling works at galleries in California, New York and Texas. |
