Masters Of American Illustration HC 2nd Edition

Description

From 1989 to 2001, author Fred Taraba was a regular contributor to the popular graphic arts magazine Step-By-Step Graphics. His column, 'Methods of the Masters,' documented the lives and working methods of some of America's finest Golden Age illustrators. This book compiles those 41 classic articles, which have been extensively reworked and revised with completely new artwork especially prepared for this volume. This book is a showcase for hundreds of reproductions of original paintings, photographs and vintage printed ephemeral materials. Each artist's life and career is discussed, and their working methods are described in detail.
