Aspirations...
From Illustration Art (David Apatoff):
Vincent Van Gogh:
Before he became a painter, Van Gogh aspired to be a magazine
illustrator. He praised the quality of illustrations in magazines such
as Graphic, Illustrated London News, L'Illustration, and Harper's Weekly, and
clipped out their drawings, which he pasted in portfolios for further
study. UCLA art professor Albert Boime quotes Van Gogh's correspondence
on this topic: "[Van Gogh] declared: 'I would like to go to London with
portfolio and visit the editors and managers of the illustrated
journals-also get information about the different processes-a
double-page spread allows for broader style.' That he fully intended to
specialize in magazine illustration is seen in his hopeful observation
that magazine editors would welcome 'somebody who considers making
illustrations his specialty.'"
..and this was my dream in college at Parsons. To be an editorial illustrator, in the tradition of Pyle, Lyendecker, Rockwell, Tepper, Holland, Kelley, and Silverman. Ah.
Turned out okay (from an historical point) for Van Gogh... right?
