Joseph Yeager Drawings and Watercolor Paintings

American, 1892-1958

Joseph "Joe" Yeager was raised in Cleveland, Ohio, where he went to art school at night and started his art career at 19. He was a commercial artist for the Cleveland Press for seven years, and then worked as the paper’s art director for another seven. In the army, he was a technical research illustrator for the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics. Yeager later moved to Medina, Ohio, in 1941, and opened Joe Yeager Industrial Design in 1947. He also taught advanced perspective at the Cleveland School of Art.
