Wow. What a great video and what a stunning museum-mansion I would like to visit next time I'm back east.
Beautiful. Illustration is most certainly art. I live in England but along with my husband have visited America several times and we both love the art we have had the pleasure to see in America. Above all we think the work of Norman Rockwell is amongst the best. Thank you .
The photo of the man on the window seat that is reported to be Arrow Collar Man Charles Beach is actually J.C. Leyendecker's brother Francis Xavier Leyendecker. The photo is from a Home Magazine circa 1920's that shows the interior of the Leyendecker estate in New Rochelle, NY, and was a several page article.
They are all as good as the old masters.All my favorites 😎
Wonderful wonderful.
This is the most amazing museum I have ever seen. I would go here every day! I think everyone should visit this extraordinary museum and it's paintings.
I love this. I've planned to visit this museum for years now, but haven't got around to it yet. It's on my bucket list, however. Love that Whoopi loves illustration art as much as I do. I'm also thrilled that the art world is beginning to finally come to it's senses as to what art is. I'll never forget an art professor of mine telling me that my art was too pretty and more like illustrations that fine art. It discouraged me for a while, but no more.
I'm spanish and I'm in love with american illustration, specially Leyendecker, I will visit this museum, don't know when, but I will.
Thank you! Art is nourishing to my soul ... ;)
AsI watch this video again I'm so thankful for the NMAI. They are preserving and presenting American art at its finest and giving these great artists the respect they earned while entertaining and often educating us with their visual stories. This makes me want to get to the museum as soon as I can. Anyone who appreciates art has to put this on their "must see" list.
finally, a place to go see all of my favorite illustration art firsthand. took a tour last summer and loved it, the staff was so welcoming and helpful and the mansion itself is exquisitely decorated. can't wait to visit again.
This museum is definitely now on my Someday Maybe wish list. Some very inspiring artists. Until then, this video is the next best thing.
i'm still waiting for a really great analysis of the public fall of leyendecker and the rise of rockwell in american illustration. leyendecker was the most fascinating subversive in every american home - imho.
He fell?
@@Garl_Vinland he fell from the public's graces rapidly.
@@ho2cultcha That's pretty sad.. I suppose Rockewell was then "Appointed" as the new All American illustrator.
I watched this a few years ago but enjoyed it just as much this 2nd time.
this video is wonderful!
Looks like a beautiful collection! Must visit the muesum this summer.
wow this is sooo great
Illustration is Art! I love illustrations even more than paintings. A childhood friend of mine is an excellent illustrator who has been invited to illustrate books, but sadly she didn't take up the offer. :(
Nevermind. I just saw your website. Thanks!
It's amazing! I want to visit it!
oh, me too!
Io e mia moglie collezioniamo libri illustrati e arte popolare. Le opere degli artisti della vostra "golden age" è per noi quanto di più americano riusciamo ad immaginare, anche alcuni autori italiani, seppure non moltissimi, si sono ispirati a loro donando alle loro opere una contaminazione davvero interessante.
Dobbiamo essere grati all'arte tipografica di fine ortocento e novecento per aver permesso che così tante persone nel mondo, 10:00 potessero godere ed essere influenzati dal bello.
Thank you for this fantastic overview of American Illustration and it's principle founders. Brief but informative, and classy too. Are there any sources you recommend I can pick up to learn about this topic? My grandpa Wally was an illustrator for a studio in NYC called the CEC (Charles E. Cooper Studios), so I am really drawn to this form of art. I hope you come out with more videos!
Must see
Hello, Wonderful film! Is the Parrish mural set at your museum? I found no info at the Curtis site. Thanks!
Excellent video, but no one in it told us where this wonderful museum was located.

I hope to visit next fall & see the colors of leaves, etc. as well. I hope you get to go someday, too.
When I was a kid the idea that illustration would "arbitrarily" be excluded from artistic consideration would have been completely absurd. I must admit, as I grow older, and see the direction America seems to be heading in, I'm more and more sympathetic towards the idea of rejecting the artistic legitimacy of corporate and commercial art. It's hard to say I can ever be completely converted in the face of such beautiful work, but I must admit there's merit to doubt, regardless.
I truly do not understand the difference between art and illustration. They teach beardsley, Mucha, Thomas Hart Benton in Modern Art classes.
So,...where the heck is this museum ?
who would've known that Whoopi was into this kind of stuff
Why wouldn't she be?
She really understands it too it’s cool
Thank you whoopi........🤭
Parrish. The one word is sufficient.
I watched this until whoopie and then gave it a "THUMBS DOWN"!
This video has only taught me that Whoopie Goldberg has good taste.
Michelangelo was not an illustrator I'm afraid to tell people
Hah! Laurence Cutler begins by defining illustration as pictures to be reproduced in books and magazines. A few minutes later Whoopi Goldberg says Michelangelo, who never made pictures to be reproduced in books and magazines, was one of the greatest illustrators. Time to get your act together.
Illustration not being considered art is like a green apple not being considered an apple cause the skin isn’t red.
i was called a sell out when i what into illustration.
It's like art on steroids.... or mushrooms or something.
Thank you!
