From the publisher:
Harry Beckhoff (1901-1979) was among the most distinctive stylists of the Golden Age of American illustration, celebrated for his masterful economy of line and sophisticated sense of design. Working primarily for Collier's, among other national magazines of the day, he developed a signature look defined by impeccably composed figures and fluid linework that conveyed narrative with remarkable clarity. Trained under Harvey Dunn, Beckhoff absorbed the principles of storytelling and structure, distilling them into a style that was both elegant and modern. Though his figures were often rendered with minimal detail, his compositions radiated wit, warmth, and intelligence. This volume presents the full scope of his career--from his tiny preliminary pencil studies to the finished illustrations that made him a favorite of editors and readers alike--honoring an innovator whose refined artistry continues to resonate with illustrators today.
The book is 224 pages long and filled to the brim with scores of beautiful illustrations reproduced from rare tear sheets and original paintings.
This book is limited to just 1000 copies total. There are 100 Deluxe Editions (signed and numbered in slipcase) and 900 Standard Editions. It is 224 pages, 9"x12", full-color on premium glossy stock, hardbound with dust jacket.
