A few more of Mario Cooper's wonderfully evocative illustrations. He had a long life as a gifted illustrator and teacher who specialized in watercolor and was a Society of Illustrators Hall of Fame Inductee. I wish I could find even more of his work, but for some reason there's not a lot posted on the internet.

Fabulous illustrations. I love this artwork.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jacqueline. I do too. I just wish there were more examples of Cooper's work online.
ReplyDeleteI love the Agatha Christie illustrations.
ReplyDeleteHi, Yvette. I especially like te simplicity of the third illustration. As I look at Cooper's work, I'm struck by the care he took to render hair, and that seems almost to be a signature.
ReplyDeleteI wasn't familiar with the artist, Yvette. These are terrific!
ReplyDeleteDitto what Mark said. Every one of the illustrations is superb. Thanks, Yvette.
ReplyDeleteGlad you liked them, Les. I only learned of Cooper's work this year. Better late then never as I always say. :)
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome, Prashant. I love all these golden age illustrators. Gorgeous work.
