Уильям Джеймс Эйлуорд (William James Aylward) | Харперз мансли магэзин (Harper’s Monthly Magazine)

Our Coastwise Caravans by W. J. Aylward. 1909


Уильям Джеймс Эйлуорд [варианты транскрипции: Эйлворд /Эйлвард/Эйлуард] (анг. William James Aylward; 1875-1956) — американский художник, иллюстратор, журналист, преподаватель; начинал с работы в гравировальных домах Милуоки и Чикаго; первоначальное художественное образование получил в Художественном институте Чикаго (Art Institute of Chicago) и в Лиге студентов-художников (Art Students League) в Нью-Йорке, затем учился в Школе иллюстраторов Говарда Пайла (Howard Pyle) в Уилмингтоне. В 1905 году Пайл получил от президента Теодора Рузвельта, которого он знал лично, разрешение на участие Эйлуорда в морском перегоне плавучего дока из Мэриленда на Филиппины. Итогом шестнадцатимесячного путешествия была публикация в "Скрибнерз магэзин" (Scribner's Magazine) и серия публикаций в Харперз мансли магэзин (Harper’s Monthly Magazine), окончательно закрепившие за Уильямом Джеймсом Эйлуордом репутацию морского художника. В 1918-1919 годах Эйлуорд — один из восьми художников Американского экспедиционного корпуса генерала Джона Першинга в Европе. После войны Уильям Джеймс Эйлуорд продолжил сотрудничество с журналами "Харперз мансли магэзин", "Скрибнерз магэзин", "Сатердей ивнинг пост", "Америкэн магэзин"; преподавал в Школе искусства в Ньюарке (Newark School of Fine and Industrial Art) и в Институте Пратта в Бруклине (Pratt Industrial Art School).

William James Aylward (1875-1956) — American artist, illustrator, journalist, and teacher; began working in engraving houses in Milwaukee and Chicago; received his initial art education at the Art Institute of Chicago and the Art Students League in New York, then studied at the Howard Pyle School of Illustration in Wilmington. In 1905, Pyle received permission from President Theodore Roosevelt, whom he knew personally, for Aylward to participate in the sea transportation of a floating dock from Maryland to the Philippines. The sixteen-month voyage resulted in publication in Scribner's Magazine and a series of articles in Harper's Monthly Magazine, which finally cemented William James Aylward's reputation as a marine artist. In 1918-1919, Aylward was one of eight artists with General John Pershing's American Expeditionary Force in Europe. After the war, William James Aylward continued to collaborate with Harper's Monthly Magazine, Scribner's Magazine, The Saturday Evening Post, and American Magazine; he taught at the Newark School of Fine and Industrial Art and the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn.

Элизабет Шиппен Грин (Elizabeth Shippen Green) | 1909-1910 | Харперз мансли магэзин (Harper’s Monthly Magazine)

The Burning of Babel by Una L. Silberrad. 1909


"С успешным продвижением по службе Хьюгера, перемещалась и пара — сначала в Провиденс, затем в Род-Айленд, потом в Бостон, обратно в Филадельфию и, наконец, в Нью-Йорк. Элизабет продолжала иллюстрировать — и даже больше, чем прежде. При втором переезде Эллиоттов в Филадельфию, куда Хьюгер был назначен директором того, что сейчас является Филадельфийским колледжем искусства (Philadelphia College of Art), они приобрели небольшой дом в Джермантауне (Germantown), который назвали "Литл Гарт" (причудливое название для "сада"). После смерти Хьюгера в Нью-Йорке в 1951 году, Элизабет вернулась в Филадельфию. Окружённая своими старыми друзьями, она умерла в 1954 году" (© Elzea, Rowland and Elizabeth H. Hawkes, eds.

According to data published on the Norman Rockwell Museum website, Elizabeth Shippen Green (1871-1954) was born to a well-connected Philadelphia family. An ambitious student at the Philadelphia Academy of the Fine Arts under Thomas Eakins, Thomas Anschutz, and Robert Vonnoh, Green additionally took on coursework at the Drexel Institute with Howard Pyle. The instruction of these teachers links Green to acclaimed illustrator Maxfield Parrish, an artist whose work influenced Elizabeth Shippen Green. It was in Pyle’s class that she met her fellow artists Jessie Willcox Smith and Violet Oakley. These three women shared a studio space in downtown Philadelphia before moving to the old Red Rose Inn Estate in Villanova, where they lived and worked for many years. This unusually close group of successful female illustrators came to be known as the Red Rose Girls, named as such by Pyle himself. Their body of work is a cornerstone of the Golden Age of American illustration, a time when magazine publishing flourished. In 1901, Green signed a semi-exclusive contract with Harper’s Weekly. She was the first female staff member of Harper’s. I will add that Elizabeth was publishing before she was eighteen, making pen and ink drawings and illustrations for St. Nicholas Magazine, Woman's Home Companion, and The Saturday Evening Post. In the series of drawings that Harper's specially commissioned from her in 1905, she depicts a romanticized domestic life. More typically, however, in her work for Harper's, she portrayed adults in diverse dramatic situations. Critics praised her decorative style, original compositions, and subtle use of color.
