John Groth

John August Groth was an American illustrator and teacher. He gained recognition as a war correspondent-illustrator, where he incorporated a technique he called the "speed line." He was the first art director of Esquire Magazine and taught at the Art Students League, the Pratt Institute, and the Parsons School of Design. In 1940, he was featured in an exhibition at MOMA, titled, "PM Competition: The Artist as Reporter." He covered six different wars and was one of the first correspondents in Paris after its liberation. Groth illustrated such classic books as: A Christmas Carol, All Quiet on the Western Front, The Grapes of Wrath, The War Prayer, and Gone with the Wind. His work is in collection at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Art Institute of Chicago.
