A History of American Illustration


 

THE PROGRAMS

1. James Bama: American Realist (completed)
Perhaps one of the most influential artists / illustrators of the 60's and 70's, Bama's realistic painting so Doc Savage Man of Bronze as well as hundreds of book covers and story illustrations were a revelation to many other illustrators. His powerful images of people and drama virtually changed the format of how paperback illustration was designed. Bama's Western and Native American art is also showcased.

2. Robert McGinnis: Painting the Last Rose of Summer

He is considered to be the complete illustrator by many of his peers. With a wide range of subject matter, McGinnis brought paperback illustration to a new level of style with his "McGinnis Woman" cover art for Mike Shayne and Carter Brown paperback. McGinnis also created classic movie poster art for films such as Breakfast at Tiffany's, Barbarella, The Odd Couple, and the James Bond posters of the 60's and 70's.

3. Steranko: A Film (Tentative Title)
