Art During World War II

One of the top art magazines today is American Artist Magazine. This magazine has provided a wealth of information for artists, teachers, and art lovers for nearly 40 years. In the early years the pubishers were Ernest W. Watson and Arthur L. Guptill. Watson and Guptill later became well known for their wonderfully illustrated art and art instruction publications.


American Artist Magazine during war times contained some of the best work being done in the fine arts, illustration, advertising and the crafts. Don't expect to see lavish color reproductions in the magazines of this period. During this time it was very expensive to produce color images for magazines. Some of the issues had 1 or 2 or no color photographs.


You will find a nice selection of American Artist Magazines dated from 1941 to 1945 at Nella's Books and Collectibles.
