C. Leyendecker captivated audiences throughout the first half of the 20th century. Leyendecker is best known for his creation of the archetype of the fashionable American male with his advertisements for Arrow Collar. These images sold to an eager public the idea of a glamorous lifestyle, the bedrock upon which modern advertising was built. He also was the creator instantly recognizable icons, such as the New Year’s baby and Santa Claus, that are to this day an integral part of the lexicon of Americana and was commissioned to paint more Saturday Evening Post covers than any other artist. Leyendecker lived for most of his adult life with Charles Beach, the Arrow Collar Man, on whom the stylish men in his artwork were modeled. The first book about the artist in more than 30 years, J. C. Leyendecker features his masterworks, rare paintings, studies, and other artwork, including the 322 covers he did for the Post. With a revealing text that delves into both his artistic evolution and personal life, J. C. Leyendecker restores this iconic image maker’s rightful position in the pantheon of great American artists. Review: Excellent book from a great master - Fantastic book, I only wish it was even longer, all of the covers for the Saturday evening post are included, however the majority of them are very small measuring 7.5cm by 6cm so for anyone looking to use these are reference or masters studies be warned that your favourite could be in this format, very nicely printed with a lot of great insight and text Review: Lovely book - perfect condition - Product was delivered within the time stated and was in pristine condition.

The courier even found me out the back to hand deliver personally. Fabulous artist - fantastic book ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wonderful art inside *by L***S on 7 March 2024* I was a little on the fence about getting this because the price was high and because I wasn't sure yet where Leyendecker places as an artist for me. It's still a little blurry to me, on one hand it feels like kitsch, where many paintings feel banal and naïve, with exaggerated emotions. But from technical side it's clear that Leyendecker knew art fundamentals well and certainly knew how to bend and apply them. It's an interesting study subject for me. ## Frequently Bought Together - J.C. Leyendecker: American Imagist - The Art of Robert E.
