American, 1883-1958
Born in Philadelphia, the son of a well-known lawyer and sportsman, Megargee studied at Drexel Institute in Philadelphia and the Art Student League in New York. Although Megargee painted animals of all kinds — dogs, horses and cattle — he is best known for his many depictions of pure-bred dogs. An active American Kennel Club judge, he painted many portrait commissions. Because of his active involvement in pure-bred dogs, almost his entire output of dog paintings falls into the pure-bred dog portrait category. Most were portrait commissions. |
