Introduction Plates from A Gallery of Girls Plates from The Gorgeous Isle Plates from A Young Man's Fancy Advertisements Life Magazine The Saturday Evening Post The Ladies' Home Journal "Cole Phillips and his Work" from A Young Man's Fancy
Synopsis
More than 80 color plates spotlight the best work of Cole Phillips. Includes illustrations from A Gallery of Girls and A Young Man's Fancy, plus images from other sources., Coles Phillips (1880-1927) was among the most in-demand illustrators in his field during the 1910s and 20s. A dynamic and highly skilled watercolor artist and draftsman, Phillips created dozens of covers for mainstream American magazines, including Good Housekeeping, Life, and The Saturday Evening Post. In 1908 he created a style in which the figure in the foreground blended seamlessly into the background, rendering some amount of the clothing invisible save for the edges. Dubbed "The Fadeaway," the eye-catching technique became a huge hit and was employed to great effect by the artist for most of his career. This original compilation features more than 80 color plates selected from two of Phillips' early collections, A Gallery of Girls and A Young Man's Fancy, in addition to images from other sources. An Introduction by illustrator and graphic designer Scott M. Fischer provides a modern appraisal and speaks to Phillips' lasting influence. Students of illustration, graphic design, and advertising as well as fans of 1920s fashion will appreciate this collection of striking works by a Golden Age designer-illustrator., "Coles Phillips (1880-1927) was among the most in-demand illustrators in his field during the 1910s and 20s.
