Magazine/Book

Magazine and book illustration occupied some of the most skilled commercial artists of the 20th century, from the painters who filled weekly magazine covers to the designers who shaped how a book announced itself before anyone read a word. Print runs in the millions meant this work reached far wider audiences than gallery art ever did, and the best of it holds up as design precisely because it had to work at a glance. The pieces shown here are period originals from that tradition.
