Biography
Duane Bryers was born on his parents’ farm in Upper Peninsula of Michigan, 1911, where he lived until he was 28.
He went on to open multiple studios in Chicago and New York City.
His most well known work is his series of pinup illustrations featuring Hilda, of which he made many dozen. I will not be looking at them for this project, because they are irrelevant to my theme, and too sexual for what I’m trying to convey.
He was married twice, and had three children. With his second wife, he purchased land in Sonoita, and built a house there in 1980, which he affectionately referred to as “The Mud Hut.” When his second wife died in 2002, he return to Tucson.
He died at age 100.
