NotesVictor De Pauw was born in Belgium on January 20, 1902. When he was six years old, Victor's family emigrated British Columbia, Canada. In 1919, after service in “The Great War” as a Canadian minesweeper, Victor enrolled in the California School of Fine Arts, to follow his dream of being an artist, living in San Francisco with his mother Anna. In 1922, he won a scholarship at the Art Students League enabling him to go to the Mecca of American art...New York City.
De Pauw attended the renowned Art Students League in New York. De Pauw associated with many of the premier actors and playwrights of theatre’s heyday, and his passion for depicting the stage personages became a means of support.
His caricatures of prominent actors and actresses included Helen Hayes, Ethel Barrymore, Catherine Cornell, Clark Gable, James Cagney, Edward G. Robinson. Playwrights and critics were also the subjects of De Pauw's artistic attention: Robert Sherwood, Eugene O'Neil, George Kaufman, Alexander Woolcott, and Heywood Broun among others.
In 1924 Victor married Hazel Harvey. When she met Victor she had been one of the first nurses graduated from Columbia University. The partnership lasted for 47 years with Hazel working many years as a nurse at Barnard to keep the family together.
