Label TextBorn in Maryland, Otto Cushing studied at the Boston School of Fine Arts and in Paris. After he worked as the art editor for the European edition of the Herald-Tribune, he joined the staff of Life in 1906. His drawings there often reflected a cynical eye toward social pretensions. He served in the Army during World War I. Upon his return, he devoted himself primaily to watercolor.
