John S. Smith – was a British painter, poster artist and illustrator. Christopher Deakes in his book reports that John S. Smith was trained as a graphic artist, and served throughout WW2 in the Royal Navy. After that the artist worked as a poster artist, easel painter, and designed periodicals and books. In the 1970-80s, John S. Smith illustrated the weekly for young people “Look and Learn” where the artist’s potential as an illustrator-storyteller was revealed with unprecedented force. Concluding the review of the visualizations of the British artist John S. Smith, I will note what captivated me in his illustrations: first of all, there are visible concreteness and emotional richness of his illustrations and, of course, the vibrant existence of the embodied image.
