<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>More than 80 color plates spotlight the best work of Cole Phillips. Includes illustrations from <i>A Gallery of Girls </i>and <i>A Young Man's Fancy, </i>plus images from other sources.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>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 <i>Good Housekeeping, Life, </i> and<i> The Saturday Evening Post. </i>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.<br /> This original compilation features more than 80 color plates selected from two of Phillips' early collections, <i> A Gallery of Girls </i>and <i>A Young Man's Fancy, </i>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.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Coles Phillips (1880-1927) was among the most in-demand illustrators in his field during the 1910s and 20s.
