THE ILLUSTRATIONS OF EDWARD McKNIGHT KAUFFER HD
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 5 ธ.ค. 2023
- Edward McKnight Kauffer was one of the most significant figures in the development of modernism in 20th century illustration, and his work in posters in particular was a rejection of the generally accepted wisdom of the early years of the century that faithful representational drawing and painting was the illustrator's objective. I'm of the opinion that his body of work demands a more detailed examination and hope you feel the same way.

Thanks Mr. Beard for introducing me to yet another fabulous artist.
Hello and I'm glad to have done so.
Always a treat when I get to watch one of your videos. Thank you.
...and the same when I get one of your favourable responses.
Thank you for your research and great visuals
Hi and thanks for your appreciation.
Can't thank you enough for what you bring to us Pete!
Maybe not, but its great that you keep doing so. My eternal gratitude.
❤
I agree wholeheartedly that we are blessed by the way that Pete is constantly introducing us to the artistry of so many people. ❤
Thank you, yet again, Mr. Beard. Your beautifully produced videos are Always a treat. McKnight Kauffer's work is another example of how less is more, a genius of balance and style.
Hear,hear
Thanks again for your comment and appreciation of the video.
Well said ❤
I never tire of your wonderful videos. I've never heard of Edward McKnight Kauffer until watching this. From the illustrations I've seen from his time period, he obviously made an impression of other illustrators.
Hello again and it's always a particular pleasure to know I'm bringing the work of figures like this to viewers for the first time.
Great video, Pete. As the years go by I find it harder and harder in mind to differentiate between 'illustrations' and 'fine art'. They both please me in equal measure and as has been said they 'fill my mind and not just a space on the wall'. Eighty percent of EMK's work, I would rather have on my walls than that of a lot more established fine artists.
Thanks for your comment, and I must say I share your opinion about the art/illustration debate. Much as I love painting from the Renaissance onward a time came in the later 20th century when many fine artists ceased to have any interest in actually communicating with the viewer and it seems to me that illustration has filled that void for many of us.
Another great artist for us to enjoy, his spacing, composition and variety of styles are incredible. Thank you for showing us this graphic genius!
Hi and I'm pleased you enjoyed this video and Kauffer's work. Thanks for the comment.
Oh, born in Montana. I live in Missoula, Montana. Very happy here. Quite an interesting artist; Art Deco has many guises, but one can always spot it. Thank you once again for the art/history lessons that are such a calling card for your uploads.
Best wishes to Montana, from the wirral peninsula,bounded by the mersey and the Dee and the Irish sea...geography and rhyme...E..
Hello and thanks a lot (again) for your appreciation.
I really enjoyed this one. Love Kauffer's imagination for great geometrical work, composition and balance. Very interesting stuff.
Hello amd thanks a lot for your comment and appreciation.
Thank you Pete. A beautiful well put together video. I love your work. Thank you for shining the light on the genius that is this man. 🌟
Hello and my gratitude for your praise for my work on the channel. It's a great motivator.
Thank you so much for your help in getting this abundance of incredible artwork to us all. Fascinating and exciting to see the magnificence of our differences in this process of expressing the desire for creative freedom and passion. It is so inspiring and very important for our understanding of the importance of creativity and joyously living with authenticity and expression.
Hello and your kind remarks about the channel and my contribution to it really do convince me I'm doing something right. It's a genuine source of pleasure to me to realise there are quite a few others out there who share my fascination with this subject.
Thanks, Pete. One of the founders of Art Deco. My favourite period.
Me too...E...
Thanks as ever for your appreciation.
Wow! You usually don't see that much stylistic development over the course of a career as long as his, especially from a commercial illustrator/artist.
Hello and many thanks for your comment. It's greatly appreciated.
Pete, you’re doing a public service with these videos. Genuinely. Big respect.
Also those railway posters are eye-poppingly beautiful. I hadn’t seen those before, so thank you.
Many thanks for your continued appreciation for the channel. It's a genuine pleasure to know the work is valued.
Meraviglioso video d'Art déco ❤
Grazie Pete ❤😃🥂👍
Ciao di nuovo e grazie per l'apprezzamento.
Love your channel. Binging this afternoon!
Hello and thanks a lot. Don't overdo it though...
6:17 B&W gradient, clear composition, stylish lines, this is really doing it for me. All the pieces actually are! great vid thx ;)
Thanks a lot for your comment and appreciation of his work.
More education, inspiration and delight! Thank you, Sir!
It's my pleasure.
Out of the video images, your words Pete are so precise and descriptive that only hearing a podcast we can imagine Styles and illustrations, it's the BEST song for the Unsung Héroes!
Hello Gabriel, and you flatter me (ans I love it) with your praise for the channel and my contribution. How I wish I was by the sea in Spain...
@@petebeard .....at the sea? But in summer, not now!!
Pete these get better and better...what a great resource for the future...as a 63 yr old I never appreciated how fwd thinking these artist are.... just a few women get featured?.... probably no different today
Hello and thanks a lot for your appreciation. I've covered a few female illustrators in this series (and more to come) and there are also a sizeable mirority in the unsung heroes series. But there weren't many who got involved with the more graphic-y work.
I really appreciate the audacity of some of his work; and your choice of music for this one. Thank you again.
Thanks as usual, and I must say I wish I had thought to use the word 'audacity' in connection with his work. Absolutely spot-on.
Thank you very much it was very informative. I've always enjoyed poster art specially from the turn of the last century through to about the 1960s or so. I came across a copy of Moby Dick I think it was printed in about 1930 something I gave it away as a Christmas present but I like the block print it was in his style now I come to think of it. once again thank you .
Hello and your appreciation is very welcome. I'm not a betting man but if I was I would bet the contents of my piggy bank that the version of Moby Dick you mention was by Rockwell Kent. His work features in my video unsung heroes of illustration 10, including some samples from that very book.
Wonderful ❤
Hi there. An illustrater i don't know,but is really one I like. Once again I have to thank you for introducing me to to a great artist. Greetings from Germany
Thanks a lot for your comment and appreciaton. I'm pleased to have introduced you to his work.
Many thanks.
Hi and you are very welcome.
👍Thank you!🇬🇧🇵🇹
You're welcome, sir.
Good solid workmanlike stuff -- in every genre from transport poster to detective paperbacks!
Hello again and thanks for the comment.
A quote from Paul Rand regarding McKnight- “Many people were doing modern stuff in English. But [E. McKnight] Kauffer was doing the best stuff. There wasn’t anybody anywhere near him except for Cassandre. Kauffer gave Cassandre credit. He told me, “He’s our father.”
Hello again and many thaks for your appreciation and comment. I had not heard that quote from Mr. Rand but I'm glad it lends serious weight to the idea that Cassandre influenced Kauffer's later work.
Dear Mr Beard, so appreciated your really exclusive and stylish works. In my country all children like illustrations by Yuriy Vasnetsov.
Sorry about my English.
Здравствуйте и большое спасибо за высокую оценку канала. И я надеюсь, вы будете рады узнать, что Юрий Васнецов появится в моей серии «Невоспетые герои» где-то в следующем году. Я уже представил в этой серии некоторых других российских иллюстраторов, и в следующем году их будет больше.
@@petebeard Thanks, will look forward to watching.
And enjoying)
Nicely done, Pete.
Your comment is much appreciated - thanks.
Thank you Mr Pete, 😊😊😊
You're welcome, as ever.
Refrescante, gracias, desde Guatemala.
Hola y muchas gracias por mirar.
Thank you. Judging by the American books shown, it appears he was held in high regard by a number of van vechten’s associates
Thanks for the comment. I must admit I wouldn't know Mr. Van Vechten if he bit me - I'm not that much of a reader.
Like the Langston Hughes cover...
I had no idea that his work was so prolific. Thank you for this very absorbing piece. Did you ever make a video about guidelines for judging examination artwork for schools? Your voice is very familiar to me.....
Hello and thanks for your comment. And in answer to your query - no that wasn't me but I must see if I could find such a thing online. I'd be interested to know what was said.
Thank you.
You're more than welcome.
ooph amazing artist as usual. thanks!
Hello and I'm glad you appreciate his talent. Thansk for the comment.
I like these simple cubist shapes.thanks
Thans for the comment. Glad you liked his work.
Very enjoyable. Is their any chance you could do an explanatory film explaining the different terms and what techniques were. I know little about arttechniques and what the some of the terms mean.
Hello and thanks a lot for the comment. And I hate to appear unobliging but to do such a thing would take an immense amount of time (not to mention being a bit tedious for many viewers) and my own knowledge of some of the techical processes involved is far from comprehensive. My best suggestion is to do what I did in cases where I was unsure - just google it. Whether its an arty reference such as 'futurist' or more technical as in 'pochoir' you will always get an answer and in almost all cases there will be an instructional video on youtube showing how its done.
Wonderful Pete, you amazed me again. I always thought he was British. Wasn't he included in the Studio edition of British Book Illustrators circa 1920? I no longer have a copy, you probably do, but I think his work was included.
Hi again. Do you mean the Percy Bradshaw book? I must say I've never seen a copy as such. It's quite likely he would have been 'adopted' as an honorary Brit - after all we did it with Dulac, and we don't even like the French.
You are correct!!!
Pete,s back...nice choice ,sir...😊😊..E
Hello again, and I presume you saw the Earl of Birkenhead's book. I don't know why that title makes me smirk but it does...
@@petebeardwe have that effect on people...just look at Paul O,Grady aka Lily Savage, fellow Birkonian Declan McManus aka Elvis Costello certainly made his mark...😅😅😅
1:44 I think that bridge is still there in Cassiobury Park, or rather a newer version of it.
Thanks a lot for your comment.
I liked his transport posters.
Hi again and thanks for the comment.
I live in Reigate and that poster is on the walls of our office- I feel a random question coming on as to where the painter was born...
Hello and thanks for the comment. He was born in Montana, which I understand is some distance from your home town. Whether he travelled to the destinations he painted or used photographs I couldn't say.
I recognized severalvof the images, but I didn't know the name.
I'm glad to have made the introduction.
Thanks👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Thanks a lot for the appreciation.
Thumbs up
Thanks again.
Have you ever done Munro Leaf and Robert Lawson?
Charlie & Edie Harper were cousins of mine. I used to have lots of their works, although I'e sold or donated many.
Hello again and Robert Lawson featured in unsung heroes 22. I thought Leaf was a writer, though. And to see who I've covered in that series there's a complete list at the end of unsung100 you can save as screenshots. I only discovered the remarkable work of Charlie Harper recently and he will be appearing in my wildlife illustration video when I finally finish it.
@@petebeard Leaf was known as a writer, but he did illustrate some of his own books.
~Şa-ha-ne !!~
