Biography

Early life

Pinkney was born in the Germantown section of the city of Philadelphia on December 22, 1939 to Willie Mae and James Pinkney.[7] Pinkney was the middle child in a family of five siblings.[8] Pinkney struggled in school due to dyslexia, but excelled at drawing, even at a young age.[9] During Pinkney's youth, his mother encouraged him to develop his skills by enrolling him in art classes, but Pinkney's father didn't consider art a sustainable career until Pinkney grew older.[10]

Career

During his early teens, Pinkney worked at a local newspaper stand, where he would pass the time by drawing city life.[9] Pinkney's talent caught the eye of customer and cartoonist John Liney, who worked on the Henry comic strips.[7] Liney showed Pinkney how artistry could be used for commercial purposes.[11]

Pinkney attended the Murrell Dobbins Vocational High School for his secondary education and met his future wife, Gloria Jean Pinkney, during this time.[12] Pinkney graduated from Murrell Dobbins in 1957 and was granted a full scholarship to the Philadelphia Museum College of Art (now University of the Arts).[13][14] Pinkney only attended the Philadelphia College of Art for a few years, leaving to start a family with wife Gloria.[15]

In 1960, Pinkney began working for The Rust Craft Greeting Card Company in Dedham, Massachusetts.[12] Pinkney later worked at Barker-Black Studio, where he illustrated his first picture book in collaboration with Joyce Cooper Arkhurst called, The Adventures of Spider: West African Folk Tales (1964).[16] He, along with a two other artists, opened Kaleidoscope Studio a few years later.[17] Pinkney opened his own freelance studio, Jerry Pinkney Studios, in 1968.[16]

During the 1970s, Pinkney worked on the Black Heritage Stamp Series for the United States Postal Service.[18] During the 1980s Pinkney began to receive additional recognition for his work, including a Coretta Scott King Award for his collaboration with author Patricia McKissack on Mirandy and Brother Wind (1989).[19] Pinkney also collaborated with the National Geographic Magazine[20] and the National Park Service on the topic of the Underground Railroad.[21]

Pinkney has also worked as an educator, teaching at colleges and universities like the University of Delaware,[22] the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, New York and the University at Buffalo, in Buffalo, New York.[23]

Professional Memberships

A member of the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators since 1990.[24]
In 2003, President George W. Bush appointed Pinkney to the National Council of the Arts.[23]
In 2012, Pinkney was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.[11]

Family

Jerry Pinkney and Gloria Jean Pinkney have four children: Troy, Brian, Scott, and Myles.[25] Brian Pinkney and his wife Andrea Davis Pinkney also write books for children.[25] The other Pinkney children, including Jerry and Gloria Pinkney's six grandchildren, all participate in the arts, which Gloria calls a continuation of “the Pinkney tradition.”[26]

Pinkney lives in Croton-on-Hudson in New York with his wife Gloria, where has worked out of his freelance studio, Jerry Pinkney Studio, since 1971.[16]

Art Style & Themes

Art Style

Pinkney got his start drawing in pencil[27] and his early works were black and white productions.[28] Currently, Pinkney uses a combination of watercolors and pencils for the majority of his work, along with other materials, such as, "pastel[s], color pencils, and Cray-Pas"[14] In an interview, he stated watercolors are his "medium of choice."[27] Pinkney's "intricate detail" is considered "rare" for a person who uses watercolors.[29]

Themes

Pinkney researches the subjects of his works for accuracy, such as the dress of the characters involved and the time periods.[29] Pinkney also uses live models for establishing character poses.[28] Pinkney has stated he likes to draw animals the most and to give these characters human features.[14]

Many of Pinkney's titles are on diverse themes and topics, such as African American history, and Pinkney has stated his stories are a way for him to "revisit" his childhood.[27] His recent book, A Place to Land: Martin Luther King Jr and the Speech That Inspired a Nation (2019), portrays Martin Luther King Jr.'s 1963 March on Washington "I Have A Dream" speech.

A number of Pinkney's works retell Aesop Fables, such as The Grasshopper & The Ants (2015) and The Lion and the Mouse (2009).

United States Postage Stamps

In 1977, the United States Postal Service commissioned Pinkney to create the first stamp of the Black Heritage postage stamp series, a series honoring prolific African Americans in United States history.[171] Pinkney completed a total of eleven portraits for the series, and his designs featured images of Harriet Tubman, Martin Luther King Jr., Benjamin Banneker, Whitney Young, Jackie Robinson, Scott Joplin, Carter Woodson, Mary McLeod Bethune and Sojourner Truth.[18]

Quotes

"I am a storyteller at heart. There is something special about knowing that your stories can alter the way people see the world, and their place in it."[161]

"When I'm working on a book, I wish the phone would never ring. I love doing it. My satisfaction comes from the actual marks on the paper...it's magic."[172]
