LUCILLE CORCOS (1909-1973) trained at the Art Students' League and began professionally as a children's book illustrator. She broke through to a wider appreciation with covers for Vanity Fair, and then worked extensively for the smart magazines - for example CHARM magazine for Cipe Pineles. FORTUNE however, I think it can be claimed, used her brain rather than her style.I am very fond of my copy of DEAD SOULS illustrated by Corcos in two volumes.

Corcos, “While a student at the Art Students league I met the artist Edgar Levy. We were married in 1928. We have two sons, David and Joel. I began painting professionally in 1929, working in a studio in my home in Rockland County, New York, where I am engaged in both a Fine Art and a Commercial career. Our summers are spent on Fire Island."
