| About the Artist | Joseph D. Jesensky was born in Apatin, Hungary on the Danube River in 1906. His family moved to Cleveland, Ohio when he was six years old. At the age of 16, Jesensky received a scholarship to the Cleveland School of Art for life drawing and landscape. While an art student, he began exploring the Cuyahoga Valley, beginning what has been a long and productive career as an artist, naturalist, historian and writer. During World War II, Jesensky worked in the blueprint department of the Corsair war plane at Goodyear Aircraft. After the war, he worked for Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company in the graphics department where he created layouts, designs, cartoons and presentation portraits. |
