Another Look at Louis Glanzman

via Today's Inspiration http://todaysinspiration.blogspot.com/2013/11/another-look-at-louis-glanzman.html



We lost Lou Glanzman earlier this year. He was 91. Lou and his lovely wife Fran had been members of the Today's Inspiration mailing list for many years. His work was some of the first I came to admire when I developed an interest in mid-20th century illustration. Here, from a 1954 edition of Reader's Digest Condensed Books, is another look at the art of Louis Glanzman...

Another Look at Robert Heindel

Recently I came across this series of illustrations Robert Heindel painted for Reader's Digest Condensed Books in 1970. I've modified the layout of the first spread because I really wanted to include that fantastic title typeface, so typical of typography of the early '70s.



Heindel51



This group of illustrations really knocked me out. Heindel's technique on this series leaves an impression of both old and new styles of picture making.



Heindel52



The juxtaposition is quite remarkable. I don't think I've ever seen anything quite like it.

I only wish we could see this magnificent series under better printing circumstances. I'll bet the originals would be beyond belief.
