So many worlds of wonder! Seeing these works is like discovering a buried treasure full of diverse and spectacular jewels. You are the Indiana Jones of lost illustrations.
Pete, I am slowly but surely working my way through the series and still have quite a way to go. I am truly thankful to you for taking time and effort to create this fabulously rich and informative collection of videos. It has always saddened me that the work of these tremendously inspired illustrators and designers should be considered a 'secondary art form' unworthy of the attention and praise given to more 'serious', recognised artists. You have achieved a tremendous task in bringing them to a greater audience and judging by the comments I read below your videos I am not the only one who is grateful for your dedication. Thank you.
Hello again and thanks a lot for your dedication to the cause. I've always been rather annoyed by the patronising attitudes of fine art critics about illustration, when in reality it means a lot more to people than what's hanging in many museums. And although I do get some who seem to go out of their way to nitpick or just be unpleaseant many of the comments - such as yours - are generally very encouraging.
Another enjoyable episode, so thank you very much again for your wonderful work. I was interested to learn about Fortunato Depero and Ann Fish not knowing them at all despite being interested/studied the period. I was so impressed by the verve of the line work from the final artist (Hurst), it shows the fruits of persistent, focused drawing practice. Very inspiring!

Hello Gabriel and many thanks for your positive response and observations. As a man of advanced years I still remember when magazines were mostly illustrated, and they kept me in work for quite a few years a long time ago.
@@petebeard I've been looking for your e mail for contac....but I can't. Is it possible to you to contact with me? I've seen your "Caras y Caretas" video, and it seems me incredible to know about this by you who actually live in USA..... thanks for your time.
Hello again, Gabriel I'm actually in Britain, not the USA. I only found out about Manuel Mayol and Caras Y Caretas a couple of years ago when I was looking for something else on Google for another video. Then I found some art from the magazine on Internet Archive. Please do not be offended but I don't give out my e-mail address but I'm happy to be contacted via TH-cam.
@@petebeard Thanks for your answer Pete! Let's tell you that I worked in the uruguayan advertising industry years ago....sadly last year - at Segovia, Spain - died a great friend of mine, an excellent illustrator, one of the "unsung"....and I've been thinking of showing you some - of the his not lost - works.... Uruguay is a little market, and then, at the middle of XX century, there's no international contacts as we today can share, a lot of great artist are totally unknown. Your channel is excellent, everytime a new video arrive, I'm really enjoy it. I'm now living at Barcelona.
Pete - Taschen or some similar publisher should employ you to put together these episodes into coffee table books, you've already done most of the work - I love your content and am always evangelizing about it
Thanks for the comment, and although it's far from a done deal there are negotiations taking place about publishing as books. But I stress it's only tentative at this stage and being a generally pessimistic chap I expect it to evaporate, and I'm certainly not holding my breath. But who knows?
Hello again and thanks again for yet more favourable comments. I'm working on a solo video about Eric Fraser - I think I threw him away a bit as an unsung.
Finally Mr Beard, with this presentation, you started looking at these great artist's working methods/techniques - I'd noticed you hadn't touched on this in earlier videos. Your small army (at this point) of admirers of your presentations, I'm sure would love you to explore the underbellys of the works as well, as you go, along with your insights. And also, I couldn't help laughing as I noticed someone has made the effort to click on the the "Thumbs Down" button...oh dear... Right, onto installment #10!
Hello again and thanks for conutinuing to appreciate the channel content. It means a lot to me. And I suspect (although I don't know for sure) the reason there isn't a museum dedicated to Rackham is that vitrtually all his originals were bought by private collectors during his lifetime so theres very little to actually show.
Thank you, another terrific episode. Watching two episodes back to back tells me you have judged the length perfectly and it saves them from being a ‘bang your head against the wall’ list of names. Do you know of any series of these artists published recently? I bought the “Design” series of British artists from Postscript a couple of months ago...
Hello again and at the risk of beiing considered a yahoo I've rather turned against books (other than fiction) in old age. Too much text and not enough pictorial examples for my liking in so many cases. I rely almost exclusively on online sources these days, simply because the ratio of words to pictures is the opposite of that.
@@petebeard I’m the other way! Can’t stand fiction (or lies as it used to be called) so just factual books and sadly for snappy writing university level too (so MANY bad theses turned into books). Tho I do agree about the proportion of print to pictures in even the most ‘lavishly illustrated’ book. Plus I miss tipped in plates....thank you tho, I felt really cheeky asking....
Hello and he's definitely one of mine too. I don't necessarily actually like quite a few of the illustrators I feature in the series but with Kley I'm totally sold.
Your channel is supremely underrated. I am thankful you've taken the time and effort to research and provide us information about these forgotten artists. They'll serve as a major inspiration for many! I'm happy to own one of the only art books produced that collected Earl Oliver Hurst's work. Do you know of any artbooks from your coverage that you could recommend?
Hello and many thanks for your appreciation of the channel and the content. It's very welcome. Although I have a relatively small collection of books, mostly on favourite illustrators of the past and their work, it would take a while to list them all, and what appeals to me might not to you. In fact I'm far more reliant on whtat I can unearth from the internet, particularly as it means I don't need to scan every image from books. My best suggestion is simply to google any particular featured illustrator or style (pulp/art deco/fantasy etc) and see what you find that tempts you.
@petebeard I've found that auction sites may have works from these artists that you'd otherwise never seen or heard of, or a particularly high quality image of a piece that hasn't been seen in some time.
@@stealthiestboy Hello again and thanks for the suggestion. As it happens I've been doing that for a while and you're right about the images. I find them also the most reliable way of finding out the mediums used.
I bow to your superior knowledge. But before I commit ritual harikiri I'd be fascinated to know the source of your information. Nothing I found made any mention of this.
@@dungeoneering1974 And I wasn't being sarcastic. If I get stuff wrong - and it happens frequently - it's usually because the various sources are unreliable. On the other hand I was hoping for something a bit more solid than that you were told this in college. In the end I actually don't much care - it's the work that's important.
Theres one about Henrique Alvim Corrêa? He is from my country, Brazil, and he make some of the ilustrations from the book War of the Worlds of H.G. Wells, it will be nice to see a illustrator from my own country.
Hi there I know about Correa and I think his work is great. But the only images I can find are for war of the worlds and a couple of nude females. With very little biography known this makes it difficult. But he may well be featured in the future. If it's any help I have featured the great Brazilian illustrator Jose Carlos in unsung heroes of illustration3
I've watched several of your amazing videos so far but I am curious about one thing. When did acrylic paint become a common medium? Several times when an artist uses broad areas of solid colour you speculate that the easiest way to achieve such a look would be gouache because painting a solid area in watercolour would be even more difficult but would acrylic not have been a viable alternative as well? I'm just genuinely curious. Like most of the other commenters I am in love with you channel, as it is introducing me to a whole world of art I had never considered before.
Hello and thanks for the appreciation. Surprisingly I do know the answer to this one. Acrylics were developed in the later 1930s and didn't start being used until the early 1940s. I think they later became popular with many of the pop artists of the 50s and 60s and probably the illustrators of that period too. So certainly most of the illustrators I cover in the series would either have been dead, retired or too set in their ways with whatever medium they had grown comfortable with. The big issue that I struggle to get to the bottom of is the use of tempera, which was quite widespread in the 30s and 40s. It seems such an archaic mediem, although I must admit I've never used it.
@@petebeard Thank you for the answer! That does make sense. As for tempera, I guess one question would be do they mean egg tempera or the strictly water-based stuff like they give to children to play with. I remember the later being awful stuff that would flake and powder and rub off paper very easily, yet combined with egg it clearly has staying power, as evidenced by so many medieval and renaissance paintings that used it and are still around. Whether the water-based stuff I remember was just horrifically bad quality or whether it is a true example of the medium I don't know. I've always meant to try the egg tempera as a lark as I have seen examples of medieval reconstructionists using it. Apparently some modern artists' still use it but it requires working quite quickly before the egg begins to dry and building up layers of colour with overlapping short hatch-type strokes.
@@DaleyKreations Hello and just a quick respones to say yes I'm sure it was the egg stuff. Personally I only ever used ink and watercolour, until the devil persuaded me to go digital. So it's all a bit mysterious to me.
Thanks a lot for the suggestions. Joe Bowler was born too late to qualify for the unsung series (1910 is the cutoff DOB). And I can't find a date or anything else of substance for Paul Burns but I suspect he'll be too late also. But the other two will definitely feature, and I'm indebted to you as I'd heard of none of them beforehand.
@@petebeard Just for fun: Paul Callon Vincent Burns was born in New Jersey, United States, in 1910, and died in 1990. I found water scenes ("Readying to Sail" and "Fishing Boats," 1943) in watercolor on paper beginning in the 1940s, and some portraits, which look like oil, but my favorite is "Dance," done later in 1960, gouache on paper.
Hello again and don't get me started on the shameless plunder by the evil empire. Like you I'm conflicted. On the one hand the early work in particular (and the amazing background art in those films) is undeniably worthy of respect. But as for the general ethos and Americanisation of British and European tales my blood presssure rises to dangerous levels.
1:17 the person's back climbing into the skull's eye socket turns into the skull's nose. There's other parts. Kley's painting "Demons in the Factory" (not shown) was commissioned by the Krupp family and hung in the factory's cafeteria. Since Krupp machinery, etc., was a major force its seems doubtful he was out of favor with the political and military of the times they supported. Walt Disney featured Wernher von Braun on his television show. Off in *left field* what's to say Kley wasn't an art director for 'Fanastia' as his style was used by Disney studios? Disney's quote "Without the drawings of Kley ... " is open to interpretation. Storyboard drawings? Why reverse-engineer his style when it would have been easier to have Kley come to Disney Studios? With the war on the horizon giving a German credit wouldn't have be prudent. (Same reason the 'Katzenjammer Kids' was changed to the 'Captain and the Kids' during WWI.) *Thanks* again for the presentation. Enjoyed it
Hello again and thanks for the comment. We all wish we could draw that well, but I'm glad to say there are many who have achieved success in illustration with far less technical ability.
I am continuing with my plan to watch all of the "Unsung" series videos, and have been appreciating each one as a gem all its own. However, I do have one wish: In spite of the musical soundtracks being as carefully curated as the illustrations, I have been finding the music a bit too loud, as compared with the pleasant baritone of Mr. Beard, the narrator. Just a thought...
Hello and thanks. Yes I now realise that the music track is too loud on many of the earlier videos in the series. I'm fairy deaf so getting the balance hasn't been easy. But if it helps I'm tild later ones are better balanced and the music track is in the background where it should be. Sadly it all sounds the same to me. Some day I hope to find time to go through the lot and put it right.
@@petebeard Many thanks, M. Beard... Fortunately, even when reducing the overall volume to temper the music track, your narration comes through clearly.
Hi again. And sadly there have been many who have featured in this series who displayed enorous creative talent but who made friends with the wrong people. Some much more serious than Depero too.
Dommage la langue étrangère n'est aucune utilité de compréhension pour m'intéresser sur se sujet même la traduction française se lirer trop vite donc je passerai à autre chose .
No can do. Most - but probably not that one - now have subtitles so you could try with the sound off. And did you mean 'diluting' or maybe 'degrading'? ' Deluding' means something else altogether
@@petebeard Well now that you mention it, one of my sources does support your pronunciation whereas other sources do not, but after an art education and 30 years commissioning editorial illustration as an art director I've never heard it pronounced "gooash" until I heard you do it. As for keeping my pedantic petty comments to myself . . . No, that's the way it works and you as the creator of the content need to drop the attitude and just take it.
Henry Clive , you cant go wrong with Pastels , an being self taught ..Earl Hurst ..the Colliers cover of the Girl doing her eyes in make up was hilarious..just luv that period .

Hello again and thanks for the comment. We all wish we could draw that well, but I'm glad to say there are many who have achieved success in illustration with far less technical ability.
I am continuing with my plan to watch all of the "Unsung" series videos, and have been appreciating each one as a gem all its own. However, I do have one wish: In spite of the musical soundtracks being as carefully curated as the illustrations, I have been finding the music a bit too loud, as compared with the pleasant baritone of Mr. Beard, the narrator. Just a thought...
Hello and thanks. Yes I now realise that the music track is too loud on many of the earlier videos in the series. I'm fairy deaf so getting the balance hasn't been easy. But if it helps I'm tild later ones are better balanced and the music track is in the background where it should be. Sadly it all sounds the same to me. Some day I hope to find time to go through the lot and put it right.
@@petebeard Many thanks, M. Beard... Fortunately, even when reducing the overall volume to temper the music track, your narration comes through clearly.
All lovely stuff, but Dopero! Wow! Great Artist with lousy politics! But his designs are astonishing!
Hi again. And sadly there have been many who have featured in this series who displayed enorous creative talent but who made friends with the wrong people. Some much more serious than Depero too.
great and beautiful, but with a lot of great video's like this,, loud music is distracting and drowns out what the narrator is saying,
how they painted all this art without digital ?
Hello and I think real talent doesn't need computers. These people were a different breed.
Dommage la langue étrangère n'est aucune utilité de compréhension pour m'intéresser sur se sujet même la traduction française se lirer trop vite donc je passerai à autre chose .
Cut out the background piano...Can’t listen...Your deluding the power of the human voice...
No can do. Most - but probably not that one - now have subtitles so you could try with the sound off. And did you mean 'diluting' or maybe 'degrading'? ' Deluding' means something else altogether
Not an illustrator here. Good video anyway
Hello and thanks for watching. Most of the channel's viewers aren't illustrators either so you are in good company.
Gouache: It's pronounced gwash not gooash.
Not according to the online dictionaty. You say potay-to....
Either way feel free to keep your pedantic petty comments to yourself.
@@petebeard Well now that you mention it, one of my sources does support your pronunciation whereas other sources do not, but after an art education and 30 years commissioning editorial illustration as an art director I've never heard it pronounced "gooash" until I heard you do it. As for keeping my pedantic petty comments to myself . . . No, that's the way it works and you as the creator of the content need to drop the attitude and just take it.
@@sollows44 You're absolutely right goodbye nitwit.
