Lovely. Many thanks Mr. Pete.

Love the work of Bawden. Very beautiful illustrations.

I remember reading MAD to my Mom when I was just a little girl. She couldn't read. I also remember trying to draw like the artists there.

By joining together four illustrators with often quite diverging styles, you never fail to arouse interest, additionally introducing many unknown, or rather forgotten, artists. For your smile for today: I told my husband yesterday I was watching another one of those “quartets of four” (obviously meaning quartet of illustrators). His raised eyebrows made me realise my error, so I gave him an explanation: A quartet surely is no sextet. But lacking two, it will be just that. If to a trio you add one You have a foursome. Can be done. Math is not quite my favourite thing - “Quartet of four has quite a ring”.

I have five of the paperbacks, It's a world Mad, Captain Klutz, In Verse, In Orbit, Son of. I have a few vintage copies of the magazine as well. They made me laugh a lot when I was a kid. It was so odd and funny, I especially liked the advertisements for 'fake' barbeques and things like that. 😄

Beautiful illustrations !

Part 6 I am truly impressed with the clever illustrations of Clarence Cole Phillips. Beautiful women and unique fade away coloring (100 years ago!!!). With health and visual.problems of my own, it's too bad that we lost him at 47. The detailing and bright colors of the others, especially Rubino, are astoundung. Don't know if I had a particularly good internet connection or not, but the quality and high definition of this video was superb.

As with everyone else in the comments, I have never seen this art before. Yet it seems to me to be perfect for children's books, especially that wild pen and ink line work. Thanks for the video, I really would have hated to miss out on this.

This guy could do both childlike and sophisticated precision. It's a strange but happy world he created. Thank you Pete, I appreciate the work you put into your videos and narration. Some day could you please spotlight Heinz Edelmann? There's a dearth of information on him it seems.

i haven't read mad magazine in decades. but i always appreciated it and admired it. i'm surprised to here just how long its lasted. it was the internet that killed the magazine publishing industry. mad magazine's "son of mad" paperback made an appearance in the beatles' fo;m "a hard day's night." we kids always loved the part of the mag that replaced the lyrics to popular songs at the time. (it would always say "sing to the tune of...). i still have a very STRONG memory of mad's satire of the film "the french connection." it was a laugh riot. also, in the 1969 in review issue they included a panel of a drawing of the beatles with the caption "the beatles dropped hints that paul was dead as nails and rocketed therir record sales." what great memories from america's MOST iconic satirical figure - alfred e. neuman. thanks for the video.

Mad may be gone. But I sincerely hope it will COME BACK.

Nice Man!!

💖💕💖💕💖💕 Thankful 🙏❤

Thank you for this wonderful video introducing me to this artist. I love his work and his style! ❤

I like many styles of art and have enjoyed the stylized art from Japan, but I have never seen this artist before. i really like his abstract cartooning. He really had his own art style. Some of it reminds me of the wallpaper that was in my parents house from the 50's.

Oh, WOW! I remember many of these books and album covers from my youth. I never knew the artist before now, but I have enjoyed the style my entire life! Thanks for putting a name to it! :)

Great work, love the illustration, love the channel!

Absolutely beautiful, unique in every wonderful way!!! Thank you for sharing this artist...here's hoping we can honor him by loving his works!!! ❤❤❤

What a fascinating character. Thank you, Pete Beard.

Thank you, Pete Beard. I'm arriving a little late, but I really appreciate your work and the artists you are collecting for us.

i learn more from your videos than anywhere else. Thanks Peter!

What a dazzling array of styles. Wonderfully assembled and such exquisite narration. I had to pause numerous times to admire the art (it was hard to move past The Nightingale illustration by Dulac). And, what fun to see that you included my most favorite illustrations from my own well-worn childhood copy, by Szyk.

I came across Bawden in a lavish recipe book of Fortnum & Mason. His work appealed straightaway. He also knew Eric Ravilious. Another artist i love.

Very interesting. thank you for sharing this with us.

Such perfect whimsy 😊

Another gem. I think this one is also a record in the number of artists I already knew. I guess I watched a lot of cartoons in the fifties and early sixties. Plus Fougasse from the _New Yorker._ Thanks again from clloudy Vienna, Scott

Thank you. Love this.

As a boy I was always looking art books and illustrations at the library. My plan was to be an artist. I remember seeing a few books of these drawings. I'd look at page after page and started to wonder if I would go insane like this guy.

I love his work. Thank you so much for this video. On Large screen TV, just can appreciate it so much. 😁

I think of your content as an art class. I greatly respect the elaborate work you put into those incredible videos, Mr. Beard; I'm very grateful for them. I always learn a lot but when I see the artists that inspired me to be an illustrator, I get a little emotional. Takei-sensei is one of them!

Didn't know this artist, with such a peculiar way to draw. This is amazing to be surprised, to discover. Thanks for the discovery.

wonderful. loved it

Thank you from a classicaly trained sculptor and graphic artist :) I sent this video to my daughter an art student!

A remarkable discovery. Does anyone know the meaning of the triple R that appears on each piece? A signature most likely…

Recommend Polish Polish artists Maja Berezowska, Zbigniew Lengren and Bohdan Butenko, and thank you for Szancer

Another quartet, another four artists who produced intriguing, interesting and appealing work. It really seems extraordinary that people who were obviously appreciated in their time have left so few memories. Thanks to you, they get to shine once more.

👏 Bravo 👏 I am nearly brought to at the Powers of Illustration to convey an Uncanny Balance of Mystery & Legibility. This is why I have often wondered at the Live Action Films and the Lack of Photos in Children’s Literature. While the powers of Animation remain obvious, yet barely explored. 🥂

A wonderful episode, and a new artist to me. His work has a delicacy and elegance that typifies much of Japanese culture, and which I greatly admire. Thanks for another entertaining and enlightening episode Pete.

Poor health as a child yet, he lived to age 88. Lucky

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Thank you, Sir

Once again - Thank you, Mr. Beard, for turning me on to an outstanding illustrator that I likely never would have known about. You are doing God's work here on this channel.

Adding my thanks to Pete for informing us of Takeo Takei’s work . How refreshing and imaginative! Thank you so much!

Do you know anything about The Bathing Hour signed by A. B. Frost 1881? It is done in his style and from what I can determine it is his signature. Thanks for any info anyone has.

A surrealist children's world! Absolutely outstanding graphic work and painting. Mystical, ineffable, and so fun to behold. Blown away! Thank you, yet again, Mr. Beard for another education.

Trying to understand, colours,patterns and texts (subjects) of illustrations is the best way to develop brain activity and aesthetic norms.. Thank you very much.🍃 PS: Sorry for my English😔

Great sound from you and the band Pete. Although not surprised, I had no idea of the depth of your talent. BRAVO!
