The book is the appearance and structure very close to TASCHEN books, including English, German and French, a short preface and the end of the presentations of the most important occurring book illustrators. the dragon pearl The content of illustrations for the book is not divided into themes such as Taschen The Golden Age of Advertising series, but simply an annual basis. Theme sharing would be pretty difficult, because almost without exception, the figure is a woman, and most of the man. The rest is just decoration, one might even say. The book has been collected nothing short of breath-taking number of women's magazines artwork, which when watching eye almost become desensitized. the dragon pearl
It is interesting to observe how the illustration style changes of the decade progresses. The first couple of years following yet clear style of the illustrations to the previous decade, the technical implementation. The characters are clear and very skillfully described, painting in the second airy and translucent. Attention focuses very realistically painted on the face of the brush trail is often sketchy elsewhere. My eye looks like the most widely used technique would gouache. In several images airiness composition is brought leaving one area completely unpainted. Composition is often napakkaa and illustrator want to force the eye to a point. Throughout the book, women are elegant and beautiful, the men of the conservative handsome.
The book illustrators, who have not necessarily received the deserved honor, but whose work is not ashamed of any comparison with anyone known to the author. But the truth is also that the book is also available to those who remain mediocrity terrain. I find it hard to tell whether it leaves the requirements, which prevented the richer irroittelun or just a person's own abilities. The peaks, like Bernie Fuchs and Al Parker, rising well up, even if the topic on behalf of the image is not in any way interesting to all. Women are among the illustrators hardly a few exceptions exist. Women's magazines (also) stock seems to have been firmly in the hands of men.
The closer the end of the 60th century approached, the style begins to become supple and picturesque. Strong washes with brush strokes are evident in a clear and sketchy pencil post bottom appear increasingly illustrators style selections. At the same time where technology takes a break with the realistic characterization, consisting of the colors seem cluttered and earlier airiness disappears under the heavy surfaces. Acrylic appears to have become part illustrators arsenals. Depth impression disappears.
Hippikausi is clearly reflected in changes in style. Now, replacing realistic the illustrations to become a strong graphic characters and caricatures. Each of The Beatles 'Yellow Submarine' seen to know what kind of style I mean. In fact, I am not at all under the spell of this style, but it has its own shame. Realistic illustrations are starting to diminish the dragon pearl this point strongly in women's magazines pages, and they are not there then just come back at all, except maybe some of the follow-up series, where I remember seeing them.
Regardless of the direction in which the illustrations to style changes over the years, it is quite clear that the illustrators have been fully aware of the fashion trends. Only the newest and coolest is declined illustrations. One can only imagine how accurately they have had to keep track of their time and pick up from there at that moment in power styles. But it is not the actual muotikuvittajista, as presented in an earlier writing Gruau.
I just Received this thick book, Which is very similar to what Taschen the dragon pearl has published. It represents the dragon pearl outstanding amount of high-quality illustrations from women's lifestyle magazines. There are no special themes for illustrations as everything is arranged by years. It is interesting to see how the illustration techniques change through the decade, from very realistic and clean to more painterly but stuffy, and in the end, very charicaturish like in the Beatles movie Yellow Submarine's. Some of the Illustrators are outstanding, like Bernie Fuchs and Al Parker but of course some more or less mediocre the dragon pearl artist have been included. Still, it is rather sad to notice how few illustrations the lifestyle magazines use These Days and how very seldom they are done in skilled realistic style.
