American Illustration Style —— Rockwell Kent, an outstanding American illustrator in the 20th century.

How to classify illustrations and comics? I want to share some ~! ! How to divide various styles into smaller ones, the smaller the better ~! ! Simply put, comics have plots, and generally need a lot of pictures to become a whole and tell a truth or a story. Comics are mainly about creating stories. The illustrations are the same as those in the magazine. They draw a series of pictures according to the content of the article or according to their personal preferences, but each picture does not need story connection. Illustrations are generally single sheets, which are generally used to set off the plot of a text story. The definition of "illustration" in Ci Hai is: "refers to pictures inserted in books and periodicals. Some are printed in the middle of the text, and some are inserted in the pages to supplement the content of the text or for artistic appreciation. This explanation is mainly aimed at the definition of book illustrations, which is a narrow definition. With the advent of the information age and the development of modern society, the meaning of modern illustration has changed from a narrow concept (limited to paintings and pictures) to a broad concept. "Illustration" refers to the pictures inserted between words in newspapers, magazines, various publications or children's picture books that we usually read, collectively referred to as "illustration". Illustration, in Latin, means "light up". Reading words and thinking about meaning were originally used to increase the interest given by words in publications and make the words more vivid and vivid in readers' minds. In today's various publications, the importance of illustrations has far exceeded the foil position of "luminous words". It can not only highlight the theme, but also enhance the artistic appeal. Illustration is an art form. As an important visual communication form of modern design, it occupies a specific position in modern design with its intuitive image, true sense of life and beautiful appeal. It is widely used in many fields of modern design, involving cultural activities, social undertakings, commercial activities, film and television culture and so on. Illustration classification: according to the current market positioning: vector fashion cartoon, young realism, dimensional, American and Korean and diffuse illustration concept setting, etc. Classification by production methods: hand-drawn, vector, commercial, cutting-edge (2D plane, UI design, 3D), pixels by illustration style: Japanese comics and illustrations, European and American illustrations, Hong Kong illustrations, Korean game illustrations, and Taiwan Province romance novel cover illustrations. Because there are too many styles now, I will simply classify them. Other countries also have hand-folded ones. Generally, methods such as deformation, analogy and symbol are used to form humorous pictures in order to achieve the effect of irony or praise. A painting with strong irony or humor. Exaggeration, metaphor and symbol are often used to satirize, criticize or praise some people and things, which have strong sociality. There are also works purely for entertainment. There are often two kinds of entertainment works: funny and characterization (the author designs a virtual world and rules). Thanks to Rockwell Kent, an outstanding illustrator in the 20th century. Rockwell Kent once painted more than 300 illustrations for the famous work Moby Dick, which made Seward, the owner of Random House, especially appreciate Rockwell Kent. When the first edition of Moby Dick was published, Rockwell Kent's name was printed on the cover. The original author McWeill was not printed, which is an anecdote in the publishing legend! Rockwell Kent was born in 1882, a small town in upstate New York, USA. He graduated from Columbia architecture department. There are many details of architectural art paintings in his later illustrations, whether it is pavilions, temples or portraits of classical novels, there is a three-dimensional sense of sculpture! Rockwell is good at drawing illustrations for famous books. Kent is also the most famous American illustrator in the heyday of American book publishing industry in the 20th century.

Illustrations of Kent's famous works include (Moby Dick), Chaucer's (Canterbury Tales), Goethe's (Faust) (The Complete Works of decameron Shakespeare), Whitman's (Leaves of Grass), Random House's logo and Voltaire's (Honest) illustrations drawn by Kent! This is Kent's illustration for The Canterbury Tales. Kent's illustrations are very personal, with black and white lines, a sense of humor, and a slightly exaggerated artistic realism of the characters! The style of the work is obviously different from the description of the characters' scenery in the novel by European illustrators. After getting familiar with it, you will have the taste of standard American culturalism in the early twentieth century! Rockwell Kent died in 197 1, a great painter with a long life! Married three ladies. The third wife in her later years was not much older than her children and was very popular with painters. Just like Zhang Daqian in our country, he left several old ladies in the mainland and took his little wife to Taiwan Province Province and Brazil in his later years!
