(1899 - 1976)
Created three corporate icons: Aunt Jemima mammy, Quaker Oats Quaker, and the Coca-Cola Santa, ubiquitous for that company for decades (the book to get, "Haddon Sundblom's Advertising Paintings for Christmas, 1931-1964). Also created the tag line, "The Pause that Refreshes." Other ads for Wine Advisory Board, Maxwell House, Palmolive Soap, Colgate Toothpaste, and a long series for Cashmere Bouquet. Considered a father of pin-up, he taught or influenced Elvgren, Buell, D'Ancona, Frahm, Sarnoff, Al Moore, and many others; his last hire was a Playboy Christmas cover.
