Fink was an artist of inimitable range who first learned to hand-letter from his father. After marrying his wife Adele, they raised two sons while he studied at the National Academy and the Art Students' League. For two decades, Fink worked as an art director at Young & Rubicam. Later, he taught at Pratt Institute and made professional contributions to the Lands’ End catalog. For more than 20 years, Fink educated and entertained adults and children with his illustrated texts of American history. He celebrated his 90th birthday in 2006 with the release of The Constitution of the United States of America (Welcome Books) which had won a Gold IPPY. He also published The Declaration of Independence: The Words that Made America (Scholastic), and Welcome Books published Fink's full-color edition of The Gettysburg Address in 2007. (en)
