Bruce had previously written about the history of Patterson & Hall for Illustration magazine #19 as well as here on the blog...
... and was key in connecting us with P&H illustrator extraordinaire, Charlie Allen. We learned a great deal about Charlie during a week-long look at his career.
Now you can see many more rare examples of artwork produced in-house at P&H over many decades, going all the way back to 1921.
This is just a tiny sample of the gorgeous work you'll find in Bruce's gallery. Go feast your eyes on the wealth of images at Real Retro Source - and many thanks to Bruce for making these treasures available for all to enjoy!
Thank you so much - truly inspirational.
ReplyDeleteThe figure walking beneath those massive trees is one of the finest uses of forced perspective I have ever seen. The second I saw the piece, I went,"WOW!" I live up here in New Hampshire and, much like poet Robert Frost, I've often taken hikes through deep,dark forest. What this artist does is imbue those woods with a majestic nature that is at the same foreboding. As if something bad is going to happen here. Just amazing.
