Biography. Richard Welsted Day, printmaker and art director, was born in Victoria, British Columbia on May 9, 1896. His education consisted of private tutoring, a natural talent for drawing which he developed without professional lessons, and voracious reading.
Day left von Stroheim and struck out on his own in the '30s. He soon gained a reputation as one of the most imaginative art directors in the business, and he worked often for the major studios on their top-drawer productions. Day won seven Oscars for art direction and set design.
