About the Item

Satyr and Pan Life Magazine Cover, April 26, 1923 Benjamin Sayre Cory Kilvert was the son of the mayor of his birthplace: Hamilton, Ontario, in Canada. Kilvert migrated to New York at attend classes at the Art Students League. Among his teachers were George Bridgman and Robert Henri. He found early employment as a staff artist for the New York World and later, Collier’s magazine. He also began to submit humorous artwork to Life, Punch, Judge and St. Nicholas magazines and illustrated several children’s books. During World War I, Kilvert served with the Canadian Expeditionary Force, based in London, devising techniques for camouflage. He also developed an interest in map making and created several mural-sized pictorial maps, including one for the Pinehurst Country Club in North Carolina. Kilvert complemented his illustration career with rural landscape paintings of the Catskill Mountains, street scenes in Charleston, South Carolina, marine paintings in the Biddeford, Maine area, and New York City skylines. He was a member of the American Watercolor Society and the Salmagundi Club in New York where he regularly exhibited.

  • Clearing the Snow, Saturday Evening Post Cover
    By John Ford Clymer
    Located in Fort Washington, PA
    Cover of The Saturday Evening Post Magazine, February 6, 1960 Caption: "The Cover: Artist John Clymer takes you to the summit of Washington state's Snoqualimie Pass, where they seem to have had a few snow flurries lately. Up there the moist westerly winds bump against sky-reaching peaks of the Cascade Range, with the result that the winds spill their contents before whistling dryly on down across the eastern slopes. Thus residents of places like Seattle living in a relatively balmy clime beside the Pacific's mild Japan current, can drive in an hour or two up to where skiing material is sometimes twenty feet thick if it's an inch. Indeed, when seasons overlap, a downlander might conceivably pick a rose and go skiing with it in his buttonhole. All of which, thanks to highway crews who blow off the blizzards, is a very felicitous geographic arrangement." John Ford Clymer's success as an artist can be traced to his boyhood in the Kittitas Valley located in the central regions of Washington state. It was there that he developed an enthusiasm for the world around him and an abiding respect for historical accuracy. Over the years John Clymer received numerous awards and honors including the revered Prix de West in 1976, from the national Academy of Western Art. Other great achievements included both gold and silver metals for his oils and charcoal drawings from the Cowboy Artists of America, "Western Artist of the Year" from the National Wildlife Art Collectors Society, and both John and Doris were honored at the Ellensburg National Art Show and Auction for their contributions to western heritage. John's highest honor came in 1988 when he was awarded the prestigious Rungius Medal from the Wildlife of American West Art...

  • Eavesdropping on Grownups, Saturday Evening Post Cover
    By George Hughes
    Located in Fort Washington, PA
    Signature: Signed Lower Left Original cover illustration for The Saturday Evening Post, December 2, 1950 The Post described, “One night Art Editor Stuart was having a party. His three boys came downstairs four times and were conducted back up by their mother. The next time they came down, Papa Stuart waxed excited, firmly conveyed them aloft himself, and they did not show up again. Stuart was warmly congratulated on his success as a father. When the party broke up, the youngest lad was found asleep on the stairs. Stuart claims that the older ones never did come down again, but this was probably because they merely went to sleep in their beds from natural causes. George Hugehes has painted some other people’s offspring, to get over the idea that children all over America are eager to improve their minds by listening to sophisticated conversation.” (The Saturday Evening Post, December 2, 1950, p. 3) Exhibited: Norman Rockwell Museum...
