J.C. Leyendecker
J.C. Leyendecker was a popular American illustrator in the early to mid 20th century. He popularized many famous icons such as the jolly fat Santa Claus and the new years baby through his illustrations and advertisements in various magazines. The style above is known as cut away or cut out illustration, where the body is deconstructed into simple shapes by having the background color the same as the subjects clothing.
