S...I really love these historical illos by Reilly. Since the 50's, American history illustrations for ads and editorial art has pretty much disappeared. It's no longer a subject of interest for most Americans, at least not in the traditional sense.<BR/><BR/>In my opinion, this subject matter is total creativity for the illustrator... creating the situation, creating the composition, creating the gestures, creating the expressions, creating the characters, creating the costumes, creating the props, creating the lighting, creating the color scheme and then it has to be rendered convincingly to create the feeling of that period. <BR/><BR/>Reilly was one of the best at developing a convincing historical scene with authentic accuracy and flawless draftsmanship. <BR/><BR/>Tom WatsonTomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13237565169344311948noreply@blogger.com
