Anatol Kovarsky puzzles capture the wit, charm, and worldly perspective of a remarkable 20th-century illustrator. Born in Moscow in 1919, Kovarsky studied art in Paris under Charles Guérin and Cubist painter André Lhote before immigrating to the U.S. in 1941. After enlisting in the Army, he served as both an aerial topographer and a cartoonist for military publications like Yank and Stars and Stripes. In 1947, he began contributing to The New Yorker, where he created dozens of covers and over 300 cartoons. His work also appeared in Colliers, Life, Playboy, and Sports Illustrated. These Anatol Kovarsky puzzles celebrate a legacy of humor, insight, and artistic range—each piece a window into a brilliant and curious mind.
