John Fleming Gould was an American artist and illustrator born in Massachusetts, though his family moved to New York when John was nine. He attended the Pratt Institute, where he studied under Dean Cornwell and H. Winfield Scott. After graduation, Gould rented a Manhattan studio with several of his classmates. He began his career doing freelance illustration work for pulp magazines including Aces, Blue Book, Clues Detective, Cowboy Stories, Danger Trails, War Birds, and Wings, and had a long working relationship with Popular Publications. He taught art at his alma mater from 1929 to 1951, before moving to the Newark School of Fine and Industrial Art. In addition to the pulps, his work was featured in The Saturday Evening Post, Country Gentleman, Redbook, and Colliers magazines, among many others. He retired from illustration in 1957, and opened a private art school and gallery in Newburgh, New York.
