I Can't Go See This
So YOU DO IT.The period from the 1890s through the 1930s was the Golden Age of American Illustration. The rapid rise of popular magazines created a new audience for art—the American public—and a new demand for illustrations. The nation's most talented artists responded by turning illustration into a sophisticated art form that gave visual life to our nation's dreams and ideals. Drawn from one of the country's premier collections of historic American illustration, this exhibition features original paintings by legendary artists such as Howard Pyle, N. C. Wyeth, J. C. Leyendecker, and Norman Rockwell.

ReplyDeleteYet it wasn't until 60 some-odd years later the the best illustration ever was produced.
There's an illustration museum in Newport, RI. Alas, no goatse, but otherwise quite nice.
ReplyDeleteFattening up the Cherub for Easter! I haven't seen anyone doing that for years. Thanks Subby
ReplyDeleteMan, I'm a big fan of Pyle and Wyeth. Parrish, too.
ReplyDeleteThey should "kink" up this exhibit with some good old Margaret Brundage illos.
Ooooh, I love that kind of stuff.
