@@petebeard Hi Pete Here in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada on March first it's turned sunny but temperature has dropped from -7 to -10 C - with occasional light snow, thankfully spring is only 20 days away.
54 installments in this series and I am still discovering amazing artists. As with a number of other commentators, I am very impressed with Hatsuyama, such a seemingly unique talent for which I know of no parallel. Glackens is right up my alley; love his work. Thank you for all your research and a beautiful presentation.
Thanks for introducing me to the work of Shigeru Hatsuyama. Virtually all the Japanese graphic art I've known has seemed so bound by tradition, though a beautiful tradition it is, that I have felt sorry for Japanese artists. I'm relieved to now suspect it was merely the provincial nature of my own education.
Hello again. Unfortunately there's not much evidence or information I can find about Japanese illustrators from the early 20th century. I think he's about the third or fourth I've dug up enough to enable me to feature. Our perceptions in the west tend to go immediately from the wonders of Hokusai and his contemporaries through to modern manga with nothing much inbetween. A great pity.
Pete, you are simply at the top of your game in creating this series of wonderful videos with insightful naration to entertain your followers. Then, just when I thought this edition could not get any better, a Japanese illustrator came bowling out of left field; a wonderfull surprise. Thanks again for all your hard work.
Hello Mark and my usual thanks. It's rather taken me by surprise how many viewers have responded favourably to Shigeru's work. Much as I like it I would have considered it an acquired taste for many.
Hello and thanks. There's something so alien but engrossing about Japanese illustration from this period. Unfortunately there's not much evidence online.
🎬👍👍👍👍👍🎬🎨 I'm just finding these so it is blistering hot where I live in the US Heartland ...this type of heat kills people so I'm stuck indoors & glad to have these enjoyable vids to watch ... THX *Pete Beard*
A really varied collection of styles offered by these four. Lucien Metivet’ Cyrano de Bergerac seems strangely familiar and the Eugenie Buffet posters too, although his name is not. Louis Glackens’s work magically induces smiles. His popularity is not surprising. Margaret Tarrant illustrations are perfect for children’s books, being delicate, charming and pretty. Shivery Hatsuyama is certainly the odd one out - not by talent, but by his approach. Very spare and linear at times, he surprised with a number of different styles and a turbulence if ideas. Once more, you managed to fire the imagination and entertain. Thank you
Thanks as ever and for prodding my memory about many of these unsungs, some of whom I'd managed to forget about in the intervening years. It seems that my brain is a finite space, after all.
Thanks for another fabulous video. I especially liked the clise up pans of the drawing in this presentation as it gave me a chance to enjoy and drool over the wonderful pen lines and forms. Delicious!
Hello again and thanks for the appreciation. I try to put as many close ups as possible in the videos, but of course I'm limited by the resolution of quite a few. I've been surprised how many will actually stand closer inspection, though.
Hello and I could have sworn I had already replied to your comment, but apparently not. Just to say finding out about early 20th century Japanes illustration is far from easy but there are I think a couple more waiting in line so far.
Gosh Pete i always watch your videos before sleeping to let it cook it in my head during sleep, these artists you introduce everytime are each and always so amazing and unique and an endless source for inspiration in shapes, colors, dynamics etc. Please never stop, it is very hard for the average person like me to find these artists and your "curation" work is very appreciated
Hello again and I'm very flattered by your particularly positive comment about my work on the channel. It's very rewarding to know that viewers of all ages from around the worlds find the content interesting and inspiring.
#54 Pete, Perhaps I just didn't notice in your other episodes but in this one I really enjoyed the close-ups and zoom-ins and -outs. This method shows superb detail as it fills the entire television screen. Such detail is not usually noticed in the smaller pictures. The close-ups and zooms are really noticeable (and appreciated) in the section featuring Louis Glackens. Thanks again for yet another delightful episode. UA-cam's algorithms feed me your various episodes one at a time. I could search for your name and "binge watch" but I prefer to relish each one of your artfully done episodes no matter the crazy sequence that they are sent to me. Thanks again, JJS
When i heard the name Lucien Metivet i looked across the room and Standing there was my "Martigny vosges travel poster " that i was so happy to find in my grand parents basement. I appreciate it even more now that i know about the artist , thank's !
Hello and many thanks for your appreciation. Funnily enough that's one image that I completely missed when looking for Metivet's work. I'd have liked to have included it.
So glad to get this notification - you do superb work ... love your channel ...,the illustrations, the artistic information, the historical look-back, the whole shootin’ match ‼️
Hello again, and Shigeru was a revelation to me too. There's not much to be found from Japan in the early 20th century unfortunately. I've only been able to feature 3 or 4.
Well hello again. It's been a while and I'm glad you're back with the channel. I hope you find plenty to keep you entertained. Presumably doing gigs has been off the agenda thanks to the kung flu.
@@petebeard It’s been a ridiculous year. We’ve lost about 90% of our normal business, so we had to leave Denver and completely pivot. I’ve been so fortunate that my fans have continued to support us by buying my art and on line merchandise. We finally have a decent run next weekend and shows are piling up on the books. That is if they don’t get canceled. I hope you’ve managed to get through 2020 as comfortable and uneventful as possible. Always appreciate your efforts. 🙏🤝
The comic artists as very entertaining with the overexaggerated heads and bodies. Margaret Tarrant style is my cup of tea, not very unusual but so pleasing to the eye. Now the Japanese artist Shigeru Hatsuyama was as forward thinking as Picasso. His figures remind me of wooden dolls or puppets. His wood blocks are evocative, so very interesting. I plan to see if the library has anything about him. Thanks
Hello again and thanks a lot for your comment. Regarding Shigeru Hatsuyama I'd be very surprised if you found much in any library. When it comes to Japan there seems to be a ton of stuff about the wonderful Hokusai and his contemporaries, and a load more about Manga and Anime, and very little inbetween. Frustrating.
Thanks Pete for this wonderful series, so well done ! , feeling a bit desolate finishing # 54 ,been through them all ,think I'll go back and start at the beginning again !
Hello and I feel as if I should be handing out long service awards to the more dedicated viewers such as yourself. A new one is coming in a few days if that's any consolation.
So many of these illustrators I didn't even learn about in art school. Thank you for introducing me to them. So much wonderful inspiration for my own practice. Hope England is treating you well!
Hello and it;s very gratifying to know tou find inspiration from some of the illustrators featured. And unfortunately art schools are pretty bad at teaching illustration history.
I really loved MW Tarrant’s works. Probably because I already have a soft spot for watercolors, as a medium, but also because I’ve been looking at fairytale illustrations lately.
Thank you, the variety and inspiration I'm getting from these many artists is getting me to put my pen and paints to paper again. p.s. I'm in Texas and we just went thru a bit of trouble with winter weather and power outages. It was so nice to find solace in this newest video. (cheating as I am, not quite caught up with all of them.)
Hello and many thanks for your appreciation of the channel. Even here in Britain we heard about the massive problems in Texas. I hope normal life (covid notwithstanding) has returned in your part of the world.
Hello Pete.... thanks for another educational video in the arts. My favorite on this one is Tarrant if you hadn't guessed. It must be a terrible thing for an artist to lose their vision towards the end of their lives. Hope things are going well for you on the other side of the pond. We're still hanging in here.
Hi again John. They never specify what went wrong with the illustrators' vision. I find myself wondering if they had cataracts. I had that problem and of course these days it's relatively easy to fix. But then I doubt they had the expertise to be able to operate. Just a theory.
Hello again, and my usual thanks for watching and commenting. I'd been wondering about your obvious in-depth knowledge of film, and now I've seen your entry on IMDB it all makes sense. What I'm not so sure of is where your love of illustration comes from. Any clues? Just being nosey.
@@petebeard oh, since I was first able to pick up a pencil I made up visual stories. I really love equine artists like Wesley Dennis and C W Anderson, and Sam Savitt (who made it look so easy). Also lived in the UK for 5 years (working w/horses) so loved the illustrations in H&H, went to see Whistlejacket at the National Gallery like some people go to the Vatican (well actually went there a lot in general) I love the horse related images in the thumbnails. Movie-wise, just read about it. Love good cinema. Entry? Not me. ;)
I’m a huge fan of Glackens, thanks for this video! You can find one of his surviving animated cartoons by looking up “When Knights were bold 1915” on this site. I’ve also seen a circa 1917 propaganda piece by him similar to his work in Puck. Thanks again!
Hello again and thanks again (and for sharing). I will check out the animation you mention and I'm grateful for that too. I don;t know if you know but there's a complete list of the illustrators featured in the first 100 instalments of this series. Its at the end of number 100 and could be helpful leading you to those you have an interest in. Or for making new discoveries.
Hello and yes he features in unsung heroes 15. If you're interested there is a list of all illustrators in parts 1 -50 available in the comments box for unsung 75.
Thanks Pete for introducing me to artists that I never knew and bringing a bit of light on a grey February day.
Hello and my thanks as ever. I don't know where youlive but it's uncharacteristically sunny here in northwest England. I feel almost cheerful.
@@petebeard
Hi Pete
Here in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada on March first it's turned sunny but temperature has dropped from -7 to -10 C - with occasional light snow, thankfully spring is only 20 days away.
This always be my bedtime story now.. love listen to the history and the voice suitable with the story

Excellent as always. I am particularly fond of 5:55. : ) I am in awe of Hatsuyama Shigeru. Thanks so much for the education and inspiration.
Hello and thanks as usual. There's something compelling and weird about Japanese illustrators from that time but for me Glackens is the cherry on top.
@@petebeard Entirely agree.
Very impressiv artists! Thank you for honoring them.
Hello and thanks a lot for your appreciation of the video.
OMG Louis Glackens' line quality is phenomenal! Thanks for giving me another favorite illustrator! ^^
Hello and I'm really pleased to have introduced you to a new inspiration. What a talent he had

Again you've blown my mind. Shigeru Hatsuyam is an amazing discovery. Thanks Pete!

And thank you for watching and appreciating the content.
Always so inspiring Pete… Lucien Métivet's line is so beautiful. A wonderful group altogether!
Thanks a lot. I like to think there's plenty more where that came from.
Absolutely love these, please don’t stop doing them... as an illustrator it’s so helpful to discover new artists
Hello to you and many thanks for your comment. I'll only stop if people stop watching them or I fall off my perch.
Thanks for another fabulous video. I especially liked the clise up pans of the drawing in this presentation as it gave me a chance to enjoy and drool over the wonderful pen lines and forms. Delicious!
Hello again and thanks for the appreciation. I try to put as many close ups as possible in the videos, but of course I'm limited by the resolution of quite a few. I've been surprised how many will actually stand closer inspection, though.
Thank you for introducing me to all 4 artists - I'm especially intrigued by Shigeru's work, he had such a different imagination ~

Appreciate you keeping this history alive, just wow again over this selection of artists, and the Japanese dude you wrapped with blew my expectations.
Hello again and tanks a lot. I wish I could find more (non-manga) Japanese illustrators to cover, but they are hard to track down.
When i heard the name Lucien Metivet i looked across the room and Standing there was my "Martigny vosges travel poster " that i was so happy to find in my grand parents basement. I appreciate it even more now that i know about the artist , thank's !
