Mark English by Jill Bossert PDF Summary

Book Description: Mark English refuses to be bored. An artist of exceptional gifts, he has achieved one remarkable success after another. Driven by a need for excellence and an unending attraction to challenge and change, he has created an unparalleled body of work. This volume looks into the artist's long, complex, and continuing career as one of America's greatest talents. English was born in Hubbard, Texas in 1933. His first job was picking cotton, but he worked his way out of the fields when he learned how to paint signs for visiting rodeos. He attended the University of Texas and graduated from The Art Center College in Los Angeles in 1960. The artist moved to Connecticut in 1964, and so began his meteoric rise as one of America's top magazine illustrators. His first editorial assignment from The Saturday Evening Post led to nonstop work from most major publications including Readers Digest, The Ladies' Home Journal, Good Housekeeping, Sports Illustrated, Redbook, McCall's, and Time. Recipient of over a hundred awards from arts organizations nationwide, in 1967 English was named Artist of the Year by the Artists Guild of New York. His work was selected with astounding regularity for the Society of Illustrators annual exhibitions. The society further honored him with the Hamilton King Award in 1967, and in 1983 elected him to their prestigious Illustrators Hall of Fame. An offer from Hallmark Cards to serve as artist in residence prompted a move to Kansas City, Missouri, in 1977. Increasingly, English's interest in the surrounding countryside of that area began to predominate his paintings. Using simplified geometric shapes and abstract planes, he creates rich patterns that echo the topography andcoloration of the land. His landscapes evoke remembered scenes and associative feeling rather than represent particular locations--it is the essence of the experience, gleaned from his continual observation. In 1996, English began to concentrate on gallery paintings almost exclusively and soon found great success in this new venture. His works are coveted by art lovers and private collectors and have been shown in Canada, Japan, and throughout the United States. including the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, DC. As an artist, English is commited to innovation and growth. His career as an illustrator set new standards within the field, his recent paintings are proof of his determination, drive, and desire to further challenge himself. The text in this volume, beautifully written by Jill Bossert, captures the fascinating life of the artist, along with vivid descriptions of his paintings. The full color plates and many photographs from English's collection bring into sharp focus the exceptional talent of this gifted artist.
