Jacques Kapralik

Jacques Kapralik (1906–1960) was a Romanian American caricaturist best remembered for his work with MGM in the 1940s.^[1]

Born in Bucharest, Romania, Kapralik came to the United States in 1936. He specialized in designing miniature models resembling film stars, which were then photographed against backgrounds giving a three-dimensional effect.^[2]

Although Kapralik's work occasionally appeared onscreen in films such as Presenting Lily Mars, most of his output was devoted to publicity materials in trade magazine ads and press kits. ^{[citation needed]}

In 1953, Kapralik was one of the founders of the Society of Illustrators of Los Angeles.^[3]

Kapralik died in 1960, in Los Angeles, California.^{[citation needed]}
