Weird setup. At least he was one of the few making a fortune during the Great Depression. What the Post did to him was flat wrong. Rockwell criticized Leyendecker for being "unable to paint women with compassion." The women he painted are sexy and compassionate enough for me. If anything, he painted men with too much compassion.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15375010.post-1165510223647721292006-12-07T11:50:00.000-05:002006-12-07T11:50:00.000-05:00I'm glad you all enjoyed this.

Thanks for stopping by! I appreciate your visits and your comments.<BR/><BR/>There will be more artists on the way, trust me!

I enjoyed the examples of Leyendecker's illustrations provided by your "American Art Archive" link even better than the illustrations, which were also nice, provided by your "Curtis Publising" link. Joseph Leyendecker was truly a very gifted artist. I had never heard of him until your post about him. Thanks Benning for introducing him to me!<BR/><BR/>P.S. <BR/><BR/>The Popcorn and Gravy movie club has a second installment, this time at Megan's blog, <A HREF="http://wwwranting.blogspot.com/" REL="nofollow"> Diary of a Raving Lunatic.</A> A movie comment by anyone is welcome there (including one by a CO-CEO of the club).Hopalong Cassidyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15553691790970842758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15375010.post-1165472985711532512006-12-07T01:29:00.000-05:002006-12-07T01:29:00.000-05:00Great pictures.

You said: <BR/><BR/><I>Leyendecker was believed to be gay, though I've seen nothing that confirms that aside from his having a close companion - Charles Beach - with whom he lived for 50 years.</I><BR/><BR/>Maybe he and Charles were just confirmed bachelors - like me. ;)<BR/><BR/>As for Rockwell...<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the Mt Hood pic but I'm glad I live 300 miles southwest of it because it is a volcano.Jouberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04970872086435575755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15375010.post-1165422643445282692006-12-06T11:30:00.000-05:002006-12-06T11:30:00.000-05:00Those are phenomenal, Benning!
