 the new art quarterly celebrating the finest European Illustrators of the 20th Century  order now and secure your copy!illustrators is all about some of the most iconic images ever to see print. In the pages of illustrators you will read about some of the most inspired artists to commit their art to print. These are the people who with brush, pen and pencil were capable of transporting their audiences to the farthest reach of their imaginations. The audiences that many of these artists were catering for were international, their work was collected and admired by readers the length and breadth of Europe and the US. But with the passing of years and the ascendancy of new media, much of this brilliant and inspirational work is falling from the collective conscious. illustrators will remedy that by presenting you with a publication that four times a year will guide you through the stories behind these artists, the publishers that commissioned them, the agents that promoted them, the friends and partners that posed for them and the crazy stuff such as the artist who created his incredible covers in an unfurnished bedsit with a parrot for company. All this and more will be revealed in each edition of illustrators. Our first issue features the hardboiled art of Denis McLoughlin, an interview with the legendary Ian Kennedy looking back on his sixty two years in the business, the fin de siècle erotica of Cheri Herouard, and Mick Brownfield tells the story behind his iconic 2009 Radio Times cover featuring Daleks, Dancers and Decorations! illustrators magazine is available on annual subscription (4 issues) or as separate issues:

Pages: 272 pages Size: 9" x 12" (220mm x 297mm) Format: Hard Cover with Dust Jacket Illustrations: Full Colour ISBN: 9781907081088 Written by David Ashford, one of McLoughlin's close friends, the book celebrates every aspect of the artist's career, from examples of his earliest work whilst still in uniform to his lengthy association with T.V. Boardman, for whom he produced hundreds of dust jackets for their Bloodhound crime series and their yearly best-selling Buffalo Bill Annual. The Boardman covers are almost unique in British publishing history as no major publisher relied on a single artist to produce so many of their jackets. But tracking down useable examples has proved to be a long and gruelling process. As Peter says: "We needed high quality scans of all the covers we sought and the logistics of having to carry a scanner and computer to spend a day getting under the feet of a McLoughlin devotee, which would have secured us a reasonable number of scans but by no means all the ones I craved gave us pause for thought. Photographing the books would have been quicker, but the results are light years away from a scan. It simply wasn't an option.". Hooking up with San Francisco-based collector Mark Terry gave fresh impetus to the book as Mark already had a network of contacts with collectors through his facsimile dustjacket business; the finished book will now contain dozens of examples, carefully restored. The book contains many examples of McLoughlin's comic strips and a biography by David Ashford, as well as behind-the-scenes photos and examples of his original artwork. The definitive book and biography of Denis McLouglin, packed with full colour images of his art and a complete bibliography. The book features reproductions from the surviving original artwork, "pulls" in high quality print, never-before-seen photos chronicling the artist's life and page after page of some of the most stunning artwork ever to see print in the 20th century. | ||||||||||||||||
