A sort of Bernini of the illustration world.<br />Apart from the Baroque component, the fact he was so comfortable with the restricted means of the graphite pencil, makes me think he could have been a sculptor of the first rank had circumstances been different - a breed similarly at home with a fundamentally puritan means of making; the chisel, the homogenous medium – the pencil, the paper.chris bennetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02088693067960235141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12189014.post-60415921790953229122012-06-01T14:09:55.893-04:002012-06-01T14:09:55.893-04:00I was completely unaware of this artist- I'm s...I was completely unaware of this artist- I'm so glad you're posting these.<br />Frankly, I've always felt that the turn of the century artists had an unfair advantage with regard to the fashions popular at the time. Staging a composition has to easier with characters wearing jodhpurs and bustles and starched collars, etc. Let's see a Gibson or a Leyendecker make hay with shorts, crocs and a XXXL t-shirt!Scott Quickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16327925832271633468noreply@blogger.com
