I wasn’t going to make another comment, but it encourages me, when I see more of Harry Borgman’s work... a true “Rennesaunce man”. <BR/><BR/>Shane is right about the lack of interest in pen and ink illustration after Gibson. It was my experience that traditional pen and ink drawings were considered an old fashioned technique by most art directors, especially after the 1950’s... with the exception of some stylized modified versions. Borgman was certainly proficient at pen and ink, and apparently was given assignments in that medium, even after the 50’s. He really adapted well to all approaches and many different styles. <BR/><BR/>I knew illustrators that refused to even try a more cartoon style, or had no intention of doing layouts or graphic design assignments. It is obvious to me that variety and an abundance of talent, made Borgman a valuable commodity, as an illustrator.<BR/><BR/>Tom WatsonTomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13237565169344311948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18907156.post-84826970028511736572007-10-05T16:31:00.000-04:002007-10-05T16:31:00.000-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13237565169344311948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18907156.post-41747962569247112032007-10-05T14:44:00.000-04:002007-10-05T14:44:00.000-04:00The linework here is just fantastic!I honestly fee...The linework here is just fantastic!<BR/>I honestly feel the paperback covers of the 60s and 70s were some of the finest illustration art ever done in the US, and these shown here add weight to that claim.
