In the same way N.C. Wyeth and Maxfield Parish got me into American Illustration when I was younger
Arthur Rackham and Aubrey Beardsley got me into some of my favourite turn of the century British Illustrators like Harry Clark, Frank Brangwyn
and William Russell Flint. Flint was an amazing watercolourist and was famous for his drawings of the ladies.
Rocketeer creator and pinup artist Dave Stevens has mentioned him as influence.
From the Canterbury Tales
Watercolour landscape
From his great book of drawings called Drawings
and from the Song of Songs
These are great postings!! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteWonderful stuff Drazen. Thanks for posting it. I can't believe I never heard of him before. Maybe I have and just can't remember. Anyway, now I have a Flint folder.
ReplyDeleteThis Flint stuff's beautiful. It's so rich.
ReplyDeleteMany thanks for spotlighting Russell Flint's work Drazen, absolutely marvellous paintings. I used to come across his work in various early 20th C published collections while searching for other artists in antiquarian bookshops. For some reason I passed him by too often, maybe because he was mainly a painter, while I sought the pen-and-ink specialists.
ReplyDeleteHe's definately been overlooked for a long time.
