John Falter (1910-1982) was a native Nebraskan who studied at the Kansas City Art Institute and The Art Students League of New York City. He became a successful illustrator, creating for The Saturday Evening Post 128 covers over 25 years. Also an excellent portrait painter, book illustrator, and painter of jazz, historical, and western themes, he once said, “I found my niche as a painter of Americana with an accent on the Middle West.”
