Ivan Albright

Ivan Albright was a Chicago area native, growing up on the North Shore and graduating from the Art Institute of Chicago in 1923.  He was born to a father who was a painter and was an identical twin to his brother, Malvin Marr - also an exceptional painter.
Ivan Albright is most well known for his many paintings of "The Picture of Dorian Gray" which were commissioned by a Hollywood studio and used in the movie "The Portrait of Dorian Gray".  Due to this notoriety Albright's works have often been interpreted as being in the horror genre.
