Art Friday: Clarence Cole Phillips


Artist: Clarence Cole Phillips
1880 - 1927 (died at the age of 47)

American artist and illustrator

Best known for his stylised women on the covers of popular magazines and for his use of negative space used in adverting. Here are some examples of his use of negative space (I think they are so clever) and a couple of his magazine covers.

The painting above is my favourite, which one is yours?

Enjoy.

    1. Thanks Roxy - the power was off all day, came back by 3:30pm.

      We went to see "The Book Thief" which is set during WW2 in Germany. I loved the book and the film was quite good but not as good as the book which is often the case.

      :)
