Hello and thanks a lot for your positive comment about the channel. And although I do spend a lot of time making these videos it really doesn't feel like hard work as it's a labour of love.
Luv that movie *Laura* watched it so many times...luv those oldies TS 11:42 * *The Birds* TS 13:45 & TS 11:20 *Gone with the Wind* while not my favorite movie I'm glad it was made ... nice soundtrack here too ... *TY Pete*
Hi and thanks very much. I've no plans to delete - there are still plenty to do before I finish and I rather like the idea they'll be there when I'm gone.
I apologize, I forget to press the thumbs up button. What an Unsung Hero you are Sir to all of us! This by far beats any Mainstream Media series, regardless of the budget. Good Day and God bless
Hi and many thanks. Busch did feature if only briefly in the art of the cartoon series and obviously he's an important figure. But he's one of a relatively small number who were born before the year (1850) that I made my earliest to qualify for the unsung series.
@@petebeard Thanks for the reply. I should have specified as the name tripped me up at first as well, but I meant another illustrator with the same first and last name: Wilhelm M(!) Busch, who lived from 1908-1987, who illustrated many German books, but did not create such an iconic works as the other Wilhelm Busch did with Max und Moritz.
Hello again and thanks for the clarification. I've just had a look at the Busch you intended and providing I can find enough biographical materal and decent resolution pictures consider him included down the line. And many thanks for the suggestion - it's great when viewers get involved in the channel.
Thanks Pete, another excellent installment. I also wanted to say how much I enjoyed the previous piece on Mervyn Peake. As always looking forward to number 49.
Thank you very much Mr Beard for your wonderful channel, I love illustration! Since I think you have been an art teacher, I have a question about Gladys Peto's work in watercolor: how did she managed to have such a beautiful full black background? What do you think? Thank's for answer, and take care!
Hello and thanks for your enthusiastic response to the channel, and for subscribing. Your question actually demands a quite complicated answer so bear with me...Some of the images were printed using separate flat colours which she would not have created (even if she specified what they should be. And in both this method and full colour offset printing, which would be direct from her originals, black is the last colour to be printed so it's effectively 'on top' of the others and can be adjusted by the printers to be the blackest of blacks. It's also possible that she herself coloured her pencil drawings first and then applied the ink so it would be over the colour. I used to do this with gouache painted work. I also worked in ink and wash (even if my own work couldn't be further away from Ms Peto's). And I applied transparent coloured inks which didn't obscure the black. I hope that makes sense and is useful.
@@petebeard Thank you very much for answer Mr Pete! I would like to see your style of art! Maybe could you be yourself in Unsung Heroes!?😀...Have a nice day, your channel is a joy in this hard time at home.
Hello again and if you are interested you can see some of my work on the channel. Search for 'Pete Beard portfolio' on youtube. I'm certainly unsung but I'm far from being a hero. But I had a reasonable career and I continue to draw now I'm retired.
@@petebeard Hello, I've seen it, of course I should have imagined your funny style from your "self portrait!" Thank's again for your beautiful and generous channel
Thank you for another great video Pete! I am starting to collect resources for my dissertation and was wondering if you could share or point to any good resources on John Austen the art deco book illustrator? :)
Hello again and thanks. I'm fairly sure there are no books devoted to John Austen and I know that universities take a very dim view of wikipedia. But from his entry there you can link to a pretty thorough biography and an entry on illustrators website. Visualmelt also has good info and some great pictures. Best of luck with your dissertation.
Hello and my research didn't reveal any examples of his that were not film posters. That of course doesn't mean he didn't do other work but I didn't find any evidence of it and if he did it was a well kept secret.But I agree his style would have worked well.
Your videos are wonderful. Thank you for making them. Got a question for you... I have a print of a Collier's Magazine cover and I can't find any info about the artist. The illustration is called, The Quiet Hour, from May 4th, 1907. The image is of a woman in a rocking chair reading a book with a parrot on her shoulder. The artist name is there on the image - but even with the nice print I have - it is hard to make out the letters, my best guess is Walth Appliton Claik. Any ideas?
Hello and thanks a lot for your appreciation of the channel. I'm sorry to say that although I located the image easily enough (it's on pinterest quite a few times) I have no idea who the illustrator might be. I've even searched the Collier's online archive but that edition isn't there. I'm sorry (and personally frustrated) that I can't be any help with this one.
Hello again and I'm pleased to say you can ignore the last message. I hate to be beaten when searching so I persevered and it's Walter Appleton Clark, who it turns out was particularly obscure and there's not much by or about him on the internet.
10:50 Gaslight 11:95 The Letter (gorgeous!) 12:06 less thoughtful? The Hays code rendered rewriting much (Maugham for example) and there were many (many) subversive directors trying hard to bypass the Puritanical hold it had in cinema. For every 400 Blows you have The Searchers, etc.
Hello and thanks for your comment. Just to clarify I wasn't accusing all American movie of the period of being superficial - just the ones Grinsson was usually creating posters for.
Hello and it seems to me that both our countries are in the hands of clowns. Mind you, youthful optimism notwithstanding was it ever any different I wonder?
@@petebeard I don't know enough about yours to have an opinion, but mine definitely is, and the manner by which they got control of it is, to say the very least, extremely suspect! How much youthful enthusiasm, as opposed to nihilistic despair, remains in a generation whose publicly paid indoctrinators have shoved into their minds the meme that they are a cancer on the planet, is another question.
This has become one of my favourite channels. Thank you for all the hard work of bringing all these wonderful illustrations here.
Hello and thanks a lot for your positive comment about the channel. And although I do spend a lot of time making these videos it really doesn't feel like hard work as it's a labour of love.
Boris Wow! Very striking images.
Hello and yes Monsieur Grinsson could certainly weild a brush and make dramatic pictures. Such a pity that photography has taken over.
The artwork items of *Gladys Peto* were charming ...so cutie for children & collectors
Excellent! New video!
Luv that movie *Laura* watched it so many times...luv those oldies TS 11:42 * *The Birds* TS 13:45 & TS 11:20 *Gone with the Wind* while not my favorite movie I'm glad it was made ... nice soundtrack here too ... *TY Pete*
Hi and thanks for the recent comments. It's a great pity that film posters went photographic I think.
Another delightful, enlightening and insightful quarter of an hour. Thanks again Pete.
Thanks and it really is good to know longterm viewers still get something out of the videos.
Please never delete your channel or your videos. Thank you!

Hello and I'm very grateful for your appreciation of the channel. Thanks a lot.
Amazing how you manage to find the most obscure illustrators. Quite an educational archive you have now.
Thanks a lot - I just hope I get to finish the list.
you know, it truly is a good work that you're doing with this channel, good 👍!
Hi and thanks a lot. It means a lot to know that viewers are getting something out of it.
Thanks for another fine episode, I look forward to the next!
Thanks for your long-term support. No sign of running out of material yet.
These are just always so lovely to watch! Thank you!
And thanks for your flattering comment.
Another fascinating quartet of illustrators ... Boris Grinsson's story and artwork is noteworthy.
Thank you Mr. Beard !
Thanks - and there are other European movie poster artists in the pipeline so keep watching.
Great stuff! These illustrators and their work was all completely unknown to me!
Hello and it's good to know I'm getting these forgotten talents even a little more appreciation
Hi Pete.... Grinsson takes the cake on this one.... I'm just partial to airbrush I guess.
Hi again. There are a couple more like him currently in the pipeline.
This is great as always. Thanks for your work.
I wonder if you have featured Wilhelm M. Busch in a video yet, I just stumbled upon his great work.
Hi and many thanks. Busch did feature if only briefly in the art of the cartoon series and obviously he's an important figure. But he's one of a relatively small number who were born before the year (1850) that I made my earliest to qualify for the unsung series.

Thanks a lot. I thought Peake might be less popular than others but it turns out he's been well recieved.
I always like what I see (and hear) here!
Thanks as ever. Music to my ears.
Wiertz was like "you want a rosy picture of the fatherland? I can do that."
...and he was by no means alone in the pursuit of that romantic image.

Did Grinnson do pulp magazine our novel covers for the French market, his style makes me think Gunshoes, Spies, and Femme Fatals.

@@petebeard Ah! well, glad to have a name at least. Thank you!
Who is the artist of the thumbnail image-the centaur and rider? Peto? I somehow missed it in the course of the video.
Hello and it's the work of Auguste Roubille.
10:50 Gaslight
11:95 The Letter (gorgeous!)
12:06 less thoughtful? The Hays code rendered rewriting much (Maugham for example) and there were many (many) subversive directors trying hard to bypass the Puritanical hold it had in cinema.
For every 400 Blows you have The Searchers, etc.
Hello and thanks for your comment. Just to clarify I wasn't accusing all American movie of the period of being superficial - just the ones Grinsson was usually creating posters for.
@@petebeard the Letter is hardly superficial. Though Hays codes meant the ending changed.
+1
How'd I miss this? But the money backing Roubille's judge has moved on to electing no-prosecuting DAs...
