and greeting card illustrations. Rendered in a realist style, his subtle
and atmospheric works frequently feature shallow spaces with rich
bouquets of blooming plants in the imminent foreground of the
composition. “My work is inspired by nature,” he explained. “It is a
reflection of the natural beauty all around us.” Laessig is also notable
for utilizing elements of batik, specifically treating his canvases
with a wax coating before applying his finishing imagery. The artist was
born on November 15, 1913 in West New York, NJ, and studied the art of
textile design in pre-World War II Germany. His long and prolific career
was shaped by his employment and eventual directorship of the American
Greetings Company, the world’s largest greeting card corporation. During
his time there, he famously designed the White House Christmas card
throughout the 1960s. Laessig died on November 15, 2010 in Wabash, IN at
the age of 97.
