Self-taught artist Johan Bull was born in Norway. He worked as a journalist and illustrator for Norwegian newspapers until he immigrated to the USA. He stayed there after a visit in 1925 to New York, where he illustrated sports events for the magazine “The New Yorker” but also contributed illustrations and cartoons to other magazines. During World War II, he went to Great Britain and became a well-known voice of Norway in exile. He accompanied Allied ships and aircraft and reported from them. From 1944 his health deteriorated rapidly, and he died only a year later.
