Robert Weaver

Robert Weaver was an American illustrator who was considered a pioneer of a contemporary approach to the field that began in the 1950s. Beginning in 1952, he embarked on a mission to combine the visual ideas found in fine art with the responsibility of journalist. He used a pencil to observe, record facts, and draw real life based visual essays. This approach would later be termed "visual journalism". Weaver is known for bringing the narrative qualities of cinematic storytelling to his profession. For five decades, Weaver created work for clients such as Esquire, Fortune, Sports Illustrated, Life, Look, The New York Times and Columbia Records.
