CHARLES
ATTIE
Born in 1920 in Brooklyn, New
York.
Educated at Kansas City Art
Institute and later at the Cooper
Union in New York.
After 1954 he worked almost
exclusively as a photographer.
Attie is better known as a
photographer than as a
paperback artist; in fact, not
only did he provide photos for
artists to work from, but he also
did some photographic covers
for Dell in the late 50's. His
first painted cover was for
Bantam in 1947. He did only
three more before moving to
Berkley paperbacks in 1950.
He also did a few paintings for
Dell in addition to his
photographic work.
