Another quartet of diverse talents I hope you'll find of interest. In order of appearance they are: Elizabeth MacKinstry, Charles Verschuuren, Herry Perry and H. J. Ward
A fine foursome of illustrators. I don't know how I missed MacKinstry, but HJ Ward was always one of my favorites. Pulp is very popular again, and his covers were outstanding, and spicy indeed. Thanks for a lovely video.
H.J. Ward.....how much he drew in his short life....may be if -with his art - he'd made iconics americans....he would be really famous...but drawing cover novels and magazines, sadly has been forgiven....but now we have Pete Bear videos to turn to life these "unsung heroes of illustration". Your research work is fantastic! Thanks Pete.
Again,some wonderful illustrators to learn about…it is amazing how the art of each compliments the subject matter of each with style & colour & with such variety 😊
Hello and thanks. I do like to mix them up in the hope that viewers will enjoy the variety and maybe even find themselves liking something outside their usual preferences.
Thanks again, and I now realise that I've made so many of these I've forgotten who actually appears in many of them. I must make time to re-acquaint myself.
Thank you for another beautiful video. Set aside the wonderful editing, I can't imagine all the work put into the investigation - bringing so many great artists from almost assured oblivion. Obrigado!👍🇬🇧🇵🇹
Fabulous, as always. Apart from the quality of these videos, the sheer quantity is astonishing - over 360 Unsung Heroes and 60 singletons. Among the few you haven't gotten around to as yet are such wonders as Joseph Clement Coll and Hal Foster. And, from my love of the Pulp magazines, such artists as J Allen St John, Edd Cartier, and Frank Kelly Freas - though I seem to recall you mentioning the latter in passing. Whatever you come up with, it will be savoured as all such delights should be.
Hello and thanks for the seal of approval. And I have good news. Both J C Coll and Foster are now only a few instalments away from being featured in the unsung heroes series. Edd Cartier is getting a video all to himself (what a talent). And yes, St John and Freas have both made occasional appearances, and both will feature again when I finally complete my science fiction illustration video. Lord knows when that will be though - it's taking forever to research and put together,. And I'll pass your kind comment on to my pianist, Igor.
Thank you, Pete! H J Ward may have had a short, but a prolific and illustrious career. Hardly depressing, guess he was too busy doing what he enjoyed. Thanks to you, we all get to know and enjoy the artists behind the artwork.
Hello again and I must admit I'm a sucker for the whimsical graphic charm of Ms. Perry and others of her period and disposition. In many ways the polar opposite of Ward's melodramas.
Hello and thanks for the comment. I must admit I only found out about him a couple of years ago. His changes in style I found very interesting - and unusual.
Another must-see exploration of amazing talent and creativity! Your in-depth analysis and commentary rivals the best ever done for Fine Art Masters. Your whole body of work should be collected for sale and to keep it always available to anyone with interest in art--or beauty.
Hello again and I'm pleased you continue to enjoy the channel content. And it's a nice idea to gather the whole lot up together but there's still some way to go before I'm finished - and probably never, unless I live considerably longer than I deserve to.
Yet another outstanding view of supremely talented artists. Well done Peter. I think we are all looking forward to the next in depth discovery of beautiful artwork. Thanks.
Thank you my good sir. These have been amazing. Love always learning and viewing many new art styles is mind blowing for me. I know it may sound like I am lying but please believe me. I’ve loved art ever since I was a younger lad :,) I wish many of these talented artists got the recognition they deserve today. Without your wonderful videos I would never of known this history of art. Apologies for not taking the time on commenting much.
Hello and thanks a lot for your comments about the channel. It's really good to know that viewers such as yourself take inspiration from the featured illustrators.
This is wonderful! I may have seen MacKinstry's work and I'm sure I've seen Ward's (I've seen a lot of mystery magazine covers including the Spicys!) but the other two were unfamiliar to me! Thanks again for doing these, Pete---I hope you are having as much fun as your rapt audience is!
Hi again and many thanks for your continued support and flattering comments about the channel. Positve comments are a great source of pleasure - and pride - to me.
Hello again and my thanks for your continuing appreciation of the content. I like to think the featured illustrators may be increasingly obscure but they are every bit as interesting as the better known names.
I must have known one of your videos was due as I had just sat down with a coffee. I find it fascinating that such beautiful art can be produced with such a limited palate.
Hello again and I;m glad t have enhnced your caffeine experience. I think one of the more fascinating things about illustration is how these talented people made a virtue of the limitations and pitfalls of the print process.
Some excellent Heroes here. "The promise of Titillation" Funny! I've always enjoyed your turn of phrase, Pete.. and though, yes; there are sometimes sad endings to recount: you infuse an obvious celebration of each Artist presented, with but subtle humour when appropriate, and besides, I always sense your delight in them, too.
Hello again and that's good to know.I flatter myself that the videos ar at least a little entertaining alongside the educational aspect. Thanks for the vote of confidence.
I do wish that in the far distant future, a similar narrator will inform art lovers that the revered Artist and Art Historian, Pete Beard, "lived a long, prolific and happy life."
Hello again and many thanks for your very welcome comment. I'm already 72 so I suppose 'long' is taken care of. We'll have to see how the other aspects pan out...
Hello again, and I've got a few 'themed' unsung episodes in the pipeline and I will find 4 who lived at least into their 80s and make a video just featuring them.
Another fine foursome, and what a range! From the innocence of MacKinstry to the slighlty-too-cynical slickness of Ward! But HOW was Verscheuren's "Hippie" overlooked in the grand era of psychedelic concert poster art?!!!
Hello and you are absolutely right about Verschuuren's early poster work. Presumably he was too obscure to be hijacked by the picture pirates of the 60s.
The New York Times reported today that celebrated Hungarian-born illustrator Istvan Banyai died in December. His work was published in the New Yorker, Atlantic Magazine, New York magazine and others. You probably have profiled him - I don’t recall - but in any event he may be worth revisiting.
Hello and not only had I not featured him but I'd also never heard of him. Strange what does and doesn't travel across the ocean. And in truth I would not have featured him anyway as he was born too late (1910 is the cut off DOB) and until recently at least actually alive (also a deal-breaker). Nevertheless I'm really pleased that you have introduced me to his work and I will investigate further. Thanks again.
That made me laugh. And what fun it would be to match the wrong illustrator to the wrong project. The Frank Frazetta cookbook springs to mind, among countless others...
@@petebeard Frank Frazetta's Keto Diet would have undertones of the Twilight Zone Season 3 Episode 24 "To Serve Man". Claudia Hart's "A Child's Machiavelli : A Primer On Power" comes to mind. Beautifully done pastel watercolour of a Renaissance banquet with the caption " If you're going to assassinate someone ... ". paraphased
I have viewed, with immense pleasure and gratitude, all 91 videos in this series. I echo the extremely complimentary comments by your loyal viewers. While you have proven that video is a perfect medium for your work here, I can't help but wonder if the thought of expanding your vision to include the authoring of books hasn't occurred to you.
Hello again and thanks for your very welcome prolonged interest in the channel. And on the topic of books - a medium I must admit I haven't seriously considered to date -I've sent you my email via the contact link of your company's website. So if there's anything you want to discuss I'd be pleased to hear it.
Mr. Beard, you are definitely spoiling us! One more wonderful video with great research and beautifull images! May I make a sugestion, though? How about videos showing golden age newspaper comics strips artists, like Roy Crane and Al Williamson? Just an idea...
Hello and many thanks for your kind words about this video and the channel. And I'm always grateful for suggestions of other illustrators. In this case I did not know about either one so I'm particularly grateful. Roy Crane will join the list of unsung heroes, but sadly Al Williamson was born way too late to qualify - 1910 is the cut-off point. Nevertheless I'm still very pleased that you introduced me to his work and if I can feature him in some other context I will.
Hi Eric, and if I can offer some probably unwanted advice, don't worry about the art, worry about the work in hand and just doing the best you can with it. Most of my 'career' was spent producing garbage for money.
Hello and I think (although it's just a personal opinion)that it looks like wax crayon. It seems too textured for pencil to me. But you're right to speculate, and I could be mistaken. My get-out clause it to say 'it might be' or 'it looks like'...
It is good to see two women illustrators (Elizabeth Mackinstry and Herry Perry) holding their own, each with a distinct style, in an art world that was dominated by men. Although many might say that the work of Charles Verschuuren is dated, I find it refreshingly original by any standard of any age. I am captivated by the man's imaginative humor in even smallest detail. Take a look at the devilish grin on the face of the crescent moon in the illustration at 4:51. The creativity involved in the anthropomorphic flies in the two advertising posters at 5:03 is truly inspiring. And I wonder what H.J. Ward would would have produced if he hadn't died so young? Those pulp covers makes one regret that that form of literature is no more, but then men would still wearing snap-brimmed fedoras and women stockings and garters, which seem to have ben a staple of that genre. Well done, Pete. Nice work.
Hello again and thanks for your comments about the various illustrators in the instalment. I like to keep them as varied as possible in the hope it holds the viewers interest, especially with work they have never seen before.
I know I'll get flack for this but I can't help but wonder how accepting the artworks of "pulp" illustrators would be these days if the women were instead people of color. The illustrations would certainly be justifiably deemed as mostly unacceptable to be viewed as some kind of 'artwork'. At least in the public dome. Plus the artists' skills of these images don't appear to be all that unique to the overall genre of using women as sources of titillation via violence, though some (like here) may have had more experience at composition, but eventually they all appear to be created by the same hand. It's not just boring, it's frustrating to see these artworks as something 'special' when in fact they did little else but increase the misogyny and ongoing real time permission of abuse of women that just doesn't stop. I hope you are almost rid of all of them by now, Pete. At least you added Ward at the end and so my usual second (or third) review of the video can just stop before his dull, pathetic works come up. I thank you for that small favor but I'll also ask that you please think more about including more of this kind from the standpoint of how women are still mostly exempt from today's attempts at pointing out injustices and abusive bigotry of others deemed as 'secondary' humans. If these had been stories of pure racial hatred and denigration, would you have included the artists as 'unsung'? Thanks for your consideration.
Hello and thanks for your comment and the various points you make. And I have no desire to lose a valued longterm viewer, but in answer to your question about if the images were racially abusive yes I would still show them, although I doubt that the censors at TH-cam would let them through. I have seen - and featured - many images of an extremely antisemitic nature and that doesn't mean that I'm in favour of it. History has clearly shown that psychopathic violent men don't need encouragement to act like wild animals, and no causal link between what humans read or watch has ever been established. And I know I'm an old white heterosexual male so probably shouldn't have an opinion but it seems to me that Ward's images are portraying women being victimised by brutish men (a theme that's as old as fiction itself) and I certainly don't find myself thinking that abusing women looks like good fun.You have every right to be offended or upset by these images and I'm genuinely sorry that you are but that doesn't mean I won't continue to show them. My job is to show history from the perspective of illustration, not to evaluate or censor it.
@@petebeard Hi Pete - not to worry, I won't be going anywhere. I enjoy 99.99% of what you post and I'm not really sure what set off my initial comment here, just a bad week of news or something. Maybe pending 12+ inches of snow over finally cleared streets? Atmospheric pressure - yeah, that sounds about right also, toss that in too. :D It was interesting to learn your take on your efforts are of an historic one, however. I've always just thought your choices as more personal, or what's available within your designated years, than along the lines of history, even as I understand the impossibility of presenting them in any kind of coordinated timeline, of course. Perhaps this intention could be given within your added descriptions so as to allay any further misrepresentations while also giving your channel a well-deserved boost of higher authenticity? Not that I think you need it but others may. Also, last but no-way least, you are more than correct for pointing out other harmful illustrations you've included over time while never ever condoning them in any way. We could just delete these comments if you want, I'm okay with that. Mine was uncalled for, really, while yours the utmost courteous, straightforward, and couldn't have been more genuinely (and gracefully) respectful. That counts volumes in the end so thank you for that. Until next time! :)
@@judyparker8459 Hello and I'm glad you'll be sticking around. Interesting to know that my personal preferences with regard to illustration aren't obvious. If I had limited myself to those I actually like it would have been a considerably shorter series. There are whole genres and specific creators I have little time for but I didn't want to make videos showing any personal bias. So yes there will be others that you may be uncomfortable with but I hope you'll just give them a miss when you encounter them. Onwards and upwards...
Nearing 100 installments, what a MAGNIFICENT project this is -- inexpressible thanks!
Hi and many thanks for your flattering appreciation.

Hi again and thanks as ever. You know who is coming in about a week - I just hope you're not disappointed by the brisy and superficial overview.
@@petebeard I will alert the troops!
Wonderful quartet Pete. I particularly liked Charles Verschuuren, the angular designs _and_ the choice of colours. Thanks again!
Hello again and thanks as ever for your appreciation.
More astonishing and unfamiliar images! Thank you.

Can't thank you too many times for making these wonderful videos Mr Beard.

Thank you for these inspiring videos. It is wonderful being able to observe so many different styles of art.
Hello and I'm very pleased you think so. Thanks.
While Ward's "gone too soon" is sad the work he produced is anything but! Sensationalist and eye catching, the Pulp's best combination!!
Hello and I'm glad you enjoyed his work.

@@judyparker8459 Hello and I'm glad you'll be sticking around. Interesting to know that my personal preferences with regard to illustration aren't obvious. If I had limited myself to those I actually like it would have been a considerably shorter series. There are whole genres and specific creators I have little time for but I didn't want to make videos showing any personal bias. So yes there will be others that you may be uncomfortable with but I hope you'll just give them a miss when you encounter them. Onwards and upwards...
