That's music to my ears. I'm delighted to have introduced you to his work.

[@LPetal86]

I'll never get sick and tired of the clean, yet expressional lines of this era of artwork. I've long admired the artwork talented artists did for magazine ads, and I must say his work is amongst the warmest I've ever seen. This channel is a real gem, thank you for bringing great artists like René Vincent to attention!

[@petebeard]

Thanks a lot for your appreciation of Vincent's marvellous illustrations - and more thanks for your appreciation of my efforts with the channel.

What a consistently stylish body of work Vincent produced. I think that it is spectacular. Thanks Pete, for showcasing this artist who (as usual) I was totally unaware of.

[@petebeard]

I'm very pleased to have made the introduction. Thanks a lot for another favourable comment.

I vaguely remember seeing his work in old magazines and other items that my grandparents and great grandmother had stowed away. Thanks so much for sparking those memories!

Mr Vincent is new to me but someone who I would like to know more about. Fantastic draftsman and wonderful themes can't be beat. Thanks for covering this great artist.

Fabulous work. How interesting to see that, in many cases, the fewer the colours, the more stylish the poster appears. And Vincent certainly knew how to depict style. Very classy. I’d seen the advert for Porto and loved it, so thank you very much for showing us the rest of his work.

Terrific episode. One thing I like to do is focus not just on the main subject matter but details in the background, and for that, Vincent apparently spared no talent. His image of a pollarded tree behind the main subjects in one image was lovely. Thank you, Pete.

[@treasuresunderfoot7876]

Wow, what a career. Impressive style with continued adaptation throughout his life. His early work with subdued colors on colored paper was a very pleasing look. Especially with the modest addition of white to contrast and pop the artwork off the page. I also found his car posters quite nice. Such a way, no matter the angle of the car, to grab the viewers' attention.

[@petebeard]

Thanks for your comment, and I'm pleased that you appreciate the depth and range of Vincent's talent.

[@glendam1148]

Rene Vincent’s work reminds me of lessons my grandmother was taking during the 1920s, hoping to supplement the family income, but babies kept coming and she eventually abandoned that dream. Incidentally, her last name was the same as yours. No relation, of course. Different continents. Thank you for the fascinating present.

[@petebeard]

Many thanks for your comment and appreciation. Both are welcome.

[@wemblyfez]

Another great video, Pete. Advertising illustration at its best. Can't recall if I asked this before; were there such things as artist reps back then? Vincent, as well as other illustrators you've featured during this era, were so prolific, I'm curious if they needed to handle the business side of their art as well as the creative end. Especially with Vincent and his automobile illustrations, drawing cars is time consuming. Wondering if there were agencies. similar to what we have today that showcase artists to clients or was it up to the individual artist? Anyway, thanks for giving us more pleasurable images on this dark and chilly Sunday evening. Hope you are well. Stay safe! Cheers from sunny but cold and damp Provence.

[@petebeard]

Hi again and thanks as ever. And the answer to your question about agents is that there were quite a few illustrators in the early/mid 20th century who were represented, but just as many who were not. I think the system was a little more vague than it is these days, and printing/publishing firms would also act on illustrators' behalf, with a stable of regulars who they could rely on. Whether they took commission is another matter, and I don't know the answer. And in the case of Monsieur Vincent there's so little information about him I couldn;t begin to hazard a guess. Adieu mon brave.

[@OkieSketcher1949]

For some reason I have the feeling I have seen his work when I was rather young. Can’t remember where or exactly when. I did enjoy seeing it all again.thank you for this video. I’m looking to see more.

[@petebeard]

Thanks for the comment and I'm pleased you enjoyed his work.

[@williamevans9426]

All truly memorable illustrations from a prolific artist but I think the one that most caught my eye, for whatever reason, is the automobile-centric work shown at 16:16 (car, couple and pillar). Many thanks, as always, for your exceptional image research and informative narration; they are always greatly appreciated!

[@shawnpeterson3386]

His figures might be humorous, but his automobiles are beautiful.

[@43painter]

Wonderful talent indeed. I guess he also must've known J. C. Leyendecker German-American illustrator (1874-1951), don't you think so ?

[@petebeard]

Thanks for the comment and appreciation. It's highly likely he would have been aware of leyendecker's work, but there's no way of knowing for sure. A lot of the 'influence' may have just been down to the broad popularity of creating elegant males and females in that period.

[@ReTrOtAkU]

I just found your channel earlier today through your Antonio Rubino video and subscribed soon after finishing it. You're doing awesome work showcasing the creations of so many artists, both famous and lesser so. I was wondering, are you planning to showcase the work of more female illustrators in the future?

[@petebeard]

Thanks a lot for your comment and appreciation - and subscription. I need all I can get. I have covered several females in this series to date and there are even more in the unsung heroes series, which is currently on hold, but will be resumed in the new year. And I still have a fairly long list of others to feature one way or another. It has to be said that with only a couple of exceptions female illustrators from the historical period I generally cover were outnumbered by the male of the species, but I try to be as balanced as I can.

[@sinxenon3181]

Thanks for the comment. I would have settled for being able to find and show more of the finished book. I searched in vain.

[@gerardtessers]

Another wonderful artist; I confess to be rather charmed by the posterwork. Very nice automobiles! There is a museum in The Hague (Louwmans Museum), that has a very nice collection of automobile-related art. A large part of it consists of work by Frederick Gordon Crosby; are you familiar with his work? I'm only familiar with his automobile art, maybe you could show us more of this artist? Another great video, Pete!

[@petebeard]

Thanks again, and even more so for the name Frederick Gordon Crosby. I've just done a quick search and he will make an ideal candidate for inclusion. It might have to be in the new run of unsung heroes next year as there may not be enough to make a single video. But I'm grateful either way, and in return do you know of Geo ham? If not, well worth looking up.

[@ingmarvanderhoek6314]

That is a great car museum, by the way.

[@gerardtessers]

​@@petebeardI did not, and thank you for pointing him out to me! Very dynamic and a great use of colour! Maybe you could make an automobile-themed episode of Unsung Heroes... Great to learn that you are - likely - to start with another run! It is a surefire way to be pleasantly surprised!

[@pau1more1]

Some of his men bear more than a passing resemblance to those of JC Leyendecker...

[@albertcscs]

I was thinking the same, especially the portraits of young men.

[@petebeard]

Yes they do, and I can't decide whether he was directly influenced or it was just a fairly common way to portray young good looking people at the time. Thanks for the comment.

[@The_Butler_Did_It]

Very interesting. I have at least vaguely heard of most of the illustrators you feature, but this one is completely new to me. Some of his illustrations remind me a bit of Erté

[@rcmrcm3370]

His skill with cloth is right up there with Maxfield Parrish, I wonder if his original works have Parrish like colour and depth. Seeing a well produced Parrish poster is a wonder, but seeing his originals in good lighting is jaw dropping.

[@petebeard]

Thanks a lot for your comment. And I agree about his facility with draping clothes. But unlike Parrish he accomplished it primarily with line work, whereas Parrish was very much an oil painter and used his prowess with tones to achieve his plausible effects.

Hello Mr. Beard, I just discovered Rene Cloke, a beautiful children's book illustrator and I'm just mesmerized by all the artwork I have the privilege to see over the Internet. I was surprised to see that you hadn't covered them. Could it be possible that I'm just having difficulty finding the works and you covered them under a different name, pseudonym I'm not aware of? Thank you for your time.

[@petebeard]

Hello and thanks for the comment. René Cloke is one of a frightening number of other illustrators currently waiting to appear in my 'to do' folder. There isn't enough to make a full video about her but I will be re-starting the unsung heroes of illustration series in the new year and she will definitely be featuring in that.

Well Pete... if I may be so darkly humorous, I think he must have died of lung cancer. Thank you for this gem of an illustration. Cheers.

[@petebeard]

Thanks for your appreciation. And I did wonder whether there was divine retribution in his own demise. But cancer seems unlikely as he was still working right up to his death, so it was more likely a sudden exit. Heart attack or stroke perhaps?

Thanks a lot for your appreciation of Vincent's work. I'm bnot sure what you mean by 'cutting a tile' but his posters - and those of others - were created by drawing different parts of the image on different lithographic stones to make the finished picture.

When I look at the style I just get dauted by the hours of work I would need to put in learning the articulation of the human figure and such to be able to produce that level of image.
