Hiller (1880-1969) studied industrial design and advertising at the Art Institute of Chicago. In 1906 he moved to New York City and opened an art studio at 23 West 31st Street. In 1910 his first pulp magazine cover painting was published on the July issue of The Cavalier from Munsey Publications. In 1911 his work appeared on the cover of the pulp magazine Short Stories from Doubleday Hiller sold interior story illustrations to Pearson’s, Collier’s, Nash’s, Good Housekeeping, Cosmopolitan, and The Saturday Evening Post. He also created several cover illustrations for the popular humor magazine, Life. He also became an active member of the New York Society of Illustrators. He was instrumental in organizing that club’s annual costume ball. As a creative outgrowth of staging and photographing this club’s theatrical pageants, Hiller became fascinated with composing passion plays and using photography to document them. He was soon regarded as the “creator of American photographic illustration.” By 1921 his innovative use of photography inspired him to create several artistic motion pictures, such as The Beggar Maid, which he directed for Tri-Art Picture Company of Red Bank, NJ.
