You will hear about a fascinating artist – J. C. Leyendecker- who's illustrations epitomized the lifestyles of America in the early 20th century. Note: this will be a PG rated episode. His commercial art – primarily in magazines, became an iconic art style from the 1900's through the 1930’s.
Leyendecker was also a major influence for Norman Rockwell, one of America’s most beloved 20th century artists. You will learn of the evolution of Leyendecker's style – from the Paris art scene of the 1900’s to then reflecting the elegant lifestyle of the 1920’s that men and women strived for. But, in clever and subtle ways – his art also reflected his hidden lifestyle.
