Marvin Sylvor
Marvin Sylvor (April 21, 1933 – April 9, 2008) was an American carousel and merry-go-round designer and artist. Sylvor has designed more the sixty carousels worldwide including Bryant Park in New York City, New Zealand, Saudi Arabia, Brazil, Singapore and other parts of the United States.
== Early life ==
Sylvor was raised in the Bronx and grew up on the corner of 165th Street and Jerome Avenue, which is located near Yankee Stadium.〔 He and his father, a sign painter, would vacation in the Rockaways every year. Each year Sylvor would ask to ride a carousel which they would pass near Marine Park Bridge on the way to their vacation. Sylvor's father, who he described as always in a hurry to get to their vacation destination, always refused to stop for the carousel ride.〔 Sylvor later told the New York Times in a 2002 interview why his father never stopped, "He was a man on a mission to get to the Rockaways."〔
Sylvor graduated from William Howard Taft High School in the South Bronx and then enlisted in the United States Army.〔 While he was stationed as an Army private at the Schofield Barracks in Hawaii during the 1950s. A lieutenant asked the privates in attention if any of them were artists. Sylvor was selected from the group because he said was the only man who actually had his paint brushes with him, which was a lie.〔 Truthfully, Sylvor was an untrained artist who did not have brushes with him.〔 He had to sneak off the base to buy some from civilian stores.〔 However, Sylvor successfully managed to decorate the officers' club for a party and was soon commissioned for a series of other Army painting jobs around the base.〔
