A native of Indianapolis, Indiana, Elmer Taflinger attended Manual Training High School, where he studied art under Otto Stark (1859-1926). During his youth Taflinger worked as a stagehand at the Murat Theatre and at English's Opera House. He studied art at the New York Art Students League for six years before being hired by stage producer David Belasco (1853-1931). Taflinger worked in various capacities, including art director and stage manager, under Belasco from 1914 to 1922. His duties included designing costumes, sets, and lighting, scouting plays, and casting.

After leaving Belasco, Taflinger traveled in Europe for a short time. He returned to New York City and re-entered the Art Students League, where he studied under George B. Bridgman (1864-1943), a well-known teacher of the human figure. Taflinger's drawings would later be included in an anatomy textbook by Bridgman. Taflinger divided his time between his work and studies in New York and studies in Florence, Italy. [Displaying 1000 of 3020 characters.]  Artist bio
