About the Item
Women and Baby
Signed upper right
Arthur William Brown had one of the longest and most prolific careers of any American illustrator. Born in Canada, he landed his first job as a chalk-plate artist on the local Hamilton, Ontario, Spectator at the age of fifteen. After four years of this, he saved enough money to go to New York where he studied at the Art Students League under Walter Appleton Clark.
Brown’s first chance at magazine illustration came when a friend was assigned to write a circus article for The Saturday Evening Post. “Brownie” took a chance that he could make acceptable accompanying drawings and spent six weeks traveling with the circus. The Post was pleased with the result and the published illustrations became the first of a long and popular association which lasted over forty years.
During this time, he had the opportunity to collaborate with many famous authors, including O. Henry, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Booth Tarkington, and Sinclair Lewis. In the early stages of their careers, Frederic March, John Barrymore, and Joan Blondell all posed for him.
Brown was a long-standing active member of the Society of Illustrators. He was its president from 1944 to 1947, and in 1964 was unanimously voted into the Illustrators Hall of Fame.

Arthur William Brown
" "Brownie," as his artist friends called him, epitomizes the rule that "90% of life is just showing up." A Canadian school dropout, he worked on a steamer, sketching in his spare time (he sold these to newspapers). Saving his earnings, he enrolled at the Art Student’s League and studied under Walter Appleton Clark, F W DuMond, and FR Gruger. Brownie went along when a friend got a job from the Saturday Evening Post to cover a circus. The Post liked the article AND Brown's circus drawings. They bought them, a relationship between publisher and artist that lasted 40 years. Brown's pencils appeared in most Post issues from the teens on. He concentrated on story art (no covers) for Collier's, College Humor, Redbook, and Cosmopolitan. He also contributed posters for the WWI effort and book art for books (The Magnificent Ambersons, Alice Adams, The Fortune Hunter, The Upper Crust, Messer Marco Polo, The Midlanders, The Lady Evelyn). The vast majority of Brown's work was in pencil, though ink and color wash began appearing in his kit from the early 30s." -American Art Archives.com.
