- This video is the first of two outlining the history of illustration.Many images used here are by unknown illustrators and artists, but the key figures mentioned are:
Albrecht Durer, Peter Paul Reubens, Thomas Bewick, William Hogarth, James Gillray, Katsushika Hokusai, Honoré Daumier, Gustave Doré, Edward Lear, John Tenniel, Charles Ross & Marie Duval, John Millais, Walter Crane, Kate Greenaway, Randolph Caldecott, Aubrey Beardsley, Joseph Keppler, Victor Gillam, Alphonse Mucha, Beggarstaffs.
I can't overstate the intelligence and elegance of both the narration and the thinking that produced it. Beard discusses his subject with loving specificity. His voice is honey to the ear. I love the whole series.
I don't know how to emphasis the enjoyment of this channel.
I don't think illustration is separate from the other fine arts. They teach the same thing the academies used to teach. Illustration is a continuance of history painting, genre, etc. It may have been only for books, but the techniques spread out and had full usage of all mediums and galleries. The line has thoroughly blurred since the first illuminating paintings of manuscripts.
This is an absolute treasure, you sir, are a treasure for putting this together!
The American civil war certainly wasn't the first war to be photographed - that was the Mexican American War of 1847, followed by The Crimean War of 1854.
I have been fixated on John Tenniel's illustrations for nearly my whole life. His works are the primary reason I am an illustrator.
Perhaps there could be a little more on the technical aspects of illustration: how woodcuts were superseded (partially) by copperplate engraving; how the process of wood engraving, championed by Bewick (using end-grain boxwood blocks, rather than side-grain), made fine detail available in letterpress illustration; how the adoption of steel engraving and stereotyping made these images more widely accessible...
Always enjoy Pete's videos with a cup of coffee
This dude's voice is just,
Thanks again Pete. I learned about Edward Lear only this afternoon when I started reading Richard Mabey's 'The Cabaret of Plants ...', but only about his whimsical binomial plant illustrations. I was hoping you could set him in context. Mabey likes Lear but is more than a bit ticked-off that Palaeolithic cave paintings fail to show any recognisable plants. I understand your starting 'Illustration' with what is reproducible (or that is my understanding), but those Palaeolithic paintings of animals often seem to have elements that re-emerged in illustrative art much later.
It's amazing to see in some of these the influences on the illustrations I grew up with.
Such a great series Pete! Thank you!
Thank you! So wonderfully produced and put together. I’m going straight to Part 2 now.
Pete, I love all of your fabulous posts on here. Your research and collections of amazing illustrations are a joy to behold. Please keep up the great work. Thanks so much.
I love, love, love all the illustrations in this episode. What a treat!
This needs to be preserved for all time. Awesome work of art!
Everything is right in your videos: the choice of pictures and songs, the voice, the rythm of the narrative and the duration of videos. As somebody passionate about drawing, art and illustration I'm about to watch all of you're videos starting today and I'm sure that it's gonna be fantastic!
YT just knows the perfect time to recommend the perfect material for a conflicted artist like me, struggling between graphic design and fine art. Thank you, pete beard for being on the internet :D I think now 2 in the morning is a great time to start a comic book.
Superb music choices! Excellently brought out the time and place of the illustrations! My new favorite channel!
