After attending public schools in Brooklyn he went to Yale where he was the editor of the Yale Record ("America's Oldest College Humor Magazine") and graduated with a B.A. in fine art in 1961. After a brief stint as an assistant to New Yorker art director James Geraghty, Grossman launched himself as a freelance illustrator and cartoonist, his work featuring caricature and a satiric outlook. Early clients included Esquire and the New York Herald Tribune. He has done cover illustrations for more than 500 issues of national magazines such as Time, Newsweek, Sports Illustrated, Rolling Stone and The New Republic. Today his work can be seen regularly in The Nation, The New York Times, The New York Observer, Natural History and the Yale Alumni Magazine. He was nominated for a 1978 Academy Award for a brief animated film entitled Jimmy The C, and during the 1980's produced a number of animated television commercials. In 1979 he had a one-man show at the Vontobel Gallery in Zurich. His sculpture and paintings in oils have been widely exhibited in numerous group shows. Sight size: 42 1/2 x 43 1/2 in.

ROBERT GROSSMAN (1940-2018) New York Mets. [CARTOONS / BASEBALL]
Est: $400 - $600
ROBERT GROSSMAN (1940-2018) New York Mets. Cartoon possibly published in Look magazine, circa 1970s. Airbrush on board. 154x117 mm; 6x4 1/2 inches, on 10x8-inch board. Initialed "RG" in lower left image. Best known for creating the iconic poser for the 1980 film Airplane!, Grossman was a prolific illustrator and caricaturist who contributed to leading publications, including Rolling Stone, The New York Times, New York magazine, Esquire, National Lampoon, and Sports Illustrated. He received an Academy Award nomination in 1977 for his animated short Jimmy the C. This charming cartoon shows Grossman's adept skill for airbrush, a medium that he first encountered as a child at his father's silk-screen printing shop, and eventually mastered. Graphic design scholar, Steven Heller, praised the distinctive aesthetic the illustrator achieved: 'Grossman kind of redefined the genre of caricature by introducing the airbrush as a tool. He gave it a kind of sculptural but at the same time comic form. He gave it shades and gradients that the others didn't do. And at the same time he also captured likenesses with brilliant precision and great wit.'
