Miroslav aek (19161980) is an all but forgotten figure in the history of Czech illustration. While the artist has had books published from Japan to the US (in huge print runs) and even had his work…
Paul Hogarth (1917 - 2001) was one of the most prolific and successful commercial artists of his day, a painter in watercolours, an illustrator and printmaker, he is probably best known for his images of the faraway and exotic, with a sensitivity to architecture.

The great Saul Steinberg never learned to paint clouds. Compare Steinberg to English landscape painter John Constable, who became famous for painting clouds using techniques he developed through careful research. Constable's approach was based on his philosophy, "you only see something truly when you understand it." Perhaps Steinberg smiled in doubt at Constable's notion that we can ever "truly" understand clouds. An artist with boundless curiosity, Steinberg worked in a state of perpetual inquiry and never found a formula for clouds that satisfied him for long: All images © The Saul Steinberg Foundation/Artists Rights Society (ARS), NY Most artists refine their techniques over their careers, eventually settling on an approach that satisfies them. For example, Rubens gradually developed his distinctive treatment of human flesh until he settled on his mature style. Winslow Homer slowly mastered his famous approach to painting water. Georgia O'Keefe improved her method of painting flowers, each stage building on the last, until she arrived at the approach for which she is known today. But Steinberg's mind was too restless to linger over polishing his technique. Concepts interested him more than implementation, and he refined his technique just far enough to diagram those concepts. Look at his wild, anarchistic variety of clouds. Each picture views clouds with new eyes: At an age when other artists worked hard to discipline their perceptions of the physical world, Steinberg's perceptions snuck out the back door to elope with his conceptions. You see the fruits of their marriage all over these pictures. How can we take Steinberg seriously when his pictures all look so playful? Nobel laureate Czeslaw Milosz imagined the wild fun at the beginning of the universe when the gods began creating something from nothing. Milosz asks us to envision the hilarity when the celestial "Board of Projects" invented such things as hedgehogs: Celestials at the Board of Projects burst into laughter, For one of them has designed a hedgehog, Another, not to be left behind, a soprano.... It is superb fun in the ocean of seething energy... Buckets of protocolors gurgle, protobrushes labor, A mighty whirl of almost galaxies beyond nearly windows And pure radiance that has never experienced clouds. They blow conchs, somersault in protospace.... The earth is practically ready...and every single creature Waits for its name.... To invent length, width, height, Two times two and force of gravity Would be quite enough, but on top of it panties With lace, a hippopotamus, the beak of a toucan, A chastity belt with its terrible teeth, A hammerhead shark, a visored helmet, Plus time, that is, a division into was and will be. Gloria, gloria sing objects called to being. Hearing them, Mozart sits down at the pianoforte And composes music that has been ready Before he himself was born in Salzburg. I tell you friends, when Steinberg calls clouds into being it's a goddamn exhilarating thing.
Ronald Searle was, of course, famous for his cat drawings but he told me he was never particularly fond of cats they were merely "what sold". His various depictions of dogs over the years are just as funny and he produced a whole book on the canine personality "With four lugubrious verses" written by 'Molesworth' creator Geoffrey Willans in 1958. Searle lived in Paris for the best part of the sixties. A city of dog lovers, it commissioned Searle in the eighties to illustrate a campaign to keep its sidewalks clean! 'Particularly revolting dog glowing under the impression that it is man's best friend' Searle's covers for the New Yorker usually featured his famously laconic felines but this one, published Sept 19, 1970, depicts a site often observed in the richer parts of large cities. Early examples from the 1950s published in News Chronicle 'First Class' 'Stately homes' NY Times 'Palm Springs' feature HOLIDAY magazine February 1965 Mr Punch had a curious canine companion decades before Wallace & Gromit. His dog was called Toby. See more from 'Squires Gin' & the Post Office in the Advertising section pt.2
