Located in Fort Washington, PA
Medium: Oil on Canvas

From Lincoln, Nebraska, Mortimer Wilson, Jr. had a rich, sumptuous style of painting, based in part on his training as a portraitist. His father, conductor of the Atlanta Symphony ad a composer, had wanted his son to follow a musical career, but both violin and piano were discarded when Mortimer showed a genuine interest in drawing and painting.
Wilson became a popular illustrator for American Magazine, The Saturday Evening Post, and Woman’s Home Companion, as well as for advertisers such as Maxwell House...

The Family Gathering, Beer Belongs Advertisment
By Spencer Douglass Crockwell
Located in Fort Washington, PA
Beer Belongs advertisement.
The illustrations of Douglas Crockwell were often simply signed “Douglass” to avoid confusion with the signature of Norman Rockwell, particularly since their work was being published on the covers of The Saturday Evening Post during the same period. Necessary too, because Crockwell also worked very realistically, and like Rockwell, was particularly good with children.
Their backgrounds, however, were entirely different. Crockwell was born in Chicago, Ohio, and took his degree in Science at Washington University, followed by study at the Academy of Fine Arts in Chicago and the St. Louis School of Fine Arts. He received his first commission for a cover for The Saturday Evening Post in 1933, and this was followed by many more, as well as work for other periodicals and a long list of national advertisers.
During the ‘thirties, he also completed Post Office murals in Vermont, New York State and Mississippi, and began to work on experimental animated films. The films, and inventing a “pan-stereo” viewing...
