BIOGRAPHY:
Howard Koslow, an illustrator whose miniature masterpieces adorned millions of items of mail, delighted generations of philatelists and made him one of the most celebrated stamp artists in the history of the U.S. Across the United States, whose history, landmarks and people Mr. Koslow commemorated in 60 stamps, certain rituals have coaxed Americans out of their homes to their doorstep or driveway every day, often at the same time, in routines that remained constant for decades. One of those routines has traditionally been the delivery of a newspaper. Another is the arrival of the mail. It was that routine that brought Mr. Koslow's artistry into an unknowable but almost certainly gargantuan number of American homes, his illustrations adhered to birthday greetings, holiday cards, love letters and less-welcome correspondence such as bills. Known for his attention to historical accuracy, Mr. Koslow painted full-scale works commissioned by the U.S. Air Force Academy, NASA, the National Park Service and the U.S. Coast Guard. But he was best known for his tinier creations ' his Postal Service stamps' and particularly for a series depicting lighthouses that was a philatelist sensation beginning in the 1990s.
