Dean Cornwell
Portrait of Chinese Couple. Pearl S. Buck Tiger Tiger Illustration Cosmopolitan

1938

About the Item

Among the many accolades I would grant Dean Cornwell, the one that rises to the top would be that he is one of America's greatest portrait painters. With a few strokes, he captures his subjects' inner souls and restrained emotions. Cornwell is a master draftsman with a profound understanding of academic painting. It's this deep knowledge that allows him to paint with such self-assuredness. There is no living artist today who could paint like Dean Cornwell. This is particularly relevant in today's art world, where the most celebrated art displays little academic knowledge. This double portrait is a schematized illustration for Tiger Tiger by Pearl S. Buck. Published: Cosmopolitan Magazine, April, 1938. Initialed and dated center right, Framed dimensions. 21.75 x 24.
