A great value filled with wonderful art,
By A Customer
This review is from: Vintage Illustration: Discovering America's Calendar Artists, 1900-1960 (Hardcover)
This book presents the work of 14 artists who were prolific in the calendar illustration field during 1900-1960. Information on the major calendar companies and production methods is provided as background. For each artist there is a detailed biography, 2 or more full page color illustrations & several pages of smaller b/w illustrations. This is a wonderful look at the art that was part of most households in the first half of the century. Women are by far the most popular subject matter here, including stylish ladies, mothers, Indian maidens & alluring but tasteful pin-ups. The work of Rolf Armstrong, the "Father of the Pin-up" is most notable here. Other subjects include animals, landscapes, western & historical scenes. For collectors, value and market information is provided for this increasingly popular field. This is a wonderful look at a beautiful and vibrant body of art driven by popular demand.
