From these it appears to me that Saris seemed to maintain a similar manner of drawing, but played around with the presentation quite a bit.David Blaine Clemonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12237175583547473530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18907156.post-65304088055463379292009-11-21T23:59:13.917-05:002009-11-21T23:59:13.917-05:00It's interesting to read the experiences and p...It's interesting to read the experiences and philosophy of various illustrators. It seems that they fall into several categories. The Bernie Fuchs type that never seemed to have a problem with calling himself an illustrator, and had a natural desire to experiment and change techniques and methods frequently. The Robert Weaver type, who used avant-garde fine art as his inspiration, and agonized over being an illustrator and taking any kind of direction from an art director. The Morton Roberts type, a fine artist turned illustrator, staying traditionally literal in his painting approach, but aiming toward mural painting and other more gratifying venues. And then Anthony Saris, who was perhaps somewhere in between all of the above types. It seems he more or less reconciled with being an illustrator, choosing a style that the art directors preferred, but experimenting and expanding on it, within acceptable limits. <br /><br />I believe it's about different personalities. It's what works for each individual's temperament... there was no one size fits all, in such a fast changing diverse profession. <br /><br />Tom WatsonTomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13237565169344311948noreply@blogger.com
