Howard Giles spent most of his career in New York City, where he was an educator, magazine illustrator, and painter who espoused the theory of Dynamic Symmetry*. He was born in Brooklyn, and as a young man worked in a New York railroad office. Financial support of a family friend allowed him to study at the Art Students League* with H. Siddons Mowbray. In early 1910, he became an illustrator for Scribner's Magazine*, and in 1912, on sketching assignment for Scribner's went to England. During World War I, he did illustration for Harper's Monthly Magazine*, and many of his images were 'roaring twenties' genre and figure paintings.
