Career

edit

Nolan graduated from St. John's College High School, Washington, D.C., in 1944. He went on to serve in the U.S. Navy from March 11, 1945, to March 31, 1946. Beginning June 27, 1945, he served aboard the USS Savo Island.[2][3]

Nolan studied fine art at the Corcoran School of the Arts and Design in Washington, D.C., and graduated from New York's Parsons School of Design in 1952. He worked as a book designer and illustrator in New York, then returned to Washington to begin a freelance career. Nolan had been working for Creative Arts Studio, Inc., in Washington, D.C., when, in February 1964, in Georgetown, he and two other employees – Bill Duffy and Elmo James White, Jr. (1936–2020)[4] – founded Nolan, Duffy & White, Inc. (ND&W), a commercial art firm.[5][6][7][8][9] The Navy was the firm's primary client. Around 1971, the firm merged into the predecessor of White64 (E. James White Company → White+Partners, etc.), founded by White. After about ten years, Nolan and Duffy went out on their own. Nolan founded Nolan and Associates, Duffy became a freelance artist.

In the 1960s, Nolan illustrated for The National Guardsman, and, in January 1965, was credited as its Art Director.[10]

Nolan retired in 1995. He died thirteen years later, October 24, 2008, at his home in McClean.[11]
