82 Haddon Hubbard Sundblom was an extremely successful artist and illustrator whose work dominated the Ameri- can commercial art scene for nearly four decades. His Coca-Cola Santa Claus and Quaker Oats Man , among other well- known commercial images, remain veritable icons of American popular culture. Sundblom, however, also created a series of softer and more sensitive illustrations for magazines such as Colliers and Ladies Home Journal . He credited the development of this painterly style to the influence of the artists Anders Zorn and John Singer Sergeant.
