THE ILLUSTRATOR IN AMERICA
New expanded edition, new price!
by Walt Reed, edited: Roger Reed; 458 pages, full color, hardbound. $35.00
First published in 1964, this is the third edition of The Illustrator in America. It now goes back in time to the Civil War when artist reporters made on -the-spot pictures of the military action for publication by newspapers and periodicals of the day.
This history of 140 years of illustration is brought up to the millennium year of 2000 when the new computer-generated techniques and digital printing is creating another revolution in this evolving, dynamic art.
As before, the pictures and biographies of the outstanding artists of each decade are presented along with the historical context of each ten-year period. A time-line chart presents the various influences of styles, schools, and "isms" within this diverse and vital field that has made such an important contribution to America's art.
Included are the works of over 650 artists, their biographies, examples of their signatures and their best works. Among the artists are Winslow Homer, Thomas Moran, Charles Dana Gibson, Frederic Remington, William Glackens, Maxfield Parrish, N.C. Wyeth, James Montgomery Flagg, J.C. and F.X. Leyendecker, Jessie Wilcox Smith, John Held Jr., Norman Rockwell, Dean Cornwell, John Falter, Harold von Schmidt, Stevan Dohanos, Robert Fawcett, Austin Briggs, Al Parker, Bernie Fuchs, Bob Peak, Brad Holland, Milton Glaser, Richard Amsel, Gary Kelley, Leo and Diane Dillon, and Chris Van Allsberg.
