His contemporaries include C. Coles Phillips, Joseph Clement Coll, Edmund Dulac, Harvey Dunn, Walter Hunt Everett, Harry Rountree, Sarah Stilwell Weber, and N.C. Wyeth.[2] He is best known for his pen and ink drawings of myths and fables.[3] A large portion of Pogany's work is described as Art Nouveau.[3] Pogany's artistic style is heavily fairy-tale orientated and often feature motifs of mythical animals such as nymphs and pixies.[3] He paid great attention to botanical details.[3] He used dreamy and warm pastel scenes with watercolors, oil paintings, and especially pen and ink.[3]
