The dreamtastic pastel pin-ups of Mr. Henry Clive (1882-1960) have been inspiring me of late... I love how they are so gloriously romantic, so colorful, and laud the unnatural beauty of the painted lady. A swell reference for hair and make-up styles, and just such a joy to look at. And oh... here's wishing you a happy St. Valentine's Day!! ♥♥♥♡♥♥♥
Henry Clive (1882-1960) (Henry Clive O’Hara) born in Australia, was a magician, painter and magazine illustrator. He traveled the world as a magician, billed as "Clive the Illusionist", "The Great Clive" and "Debonair Magician." He was assisted by for a time by May Sturgess noted to be the most beautiful girl in vaudeville. Clive played the best theaters in the country and featured the Die Box and Spirit Paintings (possibly the first to do so in the United States, which he move to in 1903). His act was listed in Holden's Programmes of Famous Magicians. He left the stage some time around 1911 for a successful career as an illustrator. He moved to Hollywood in 1929 and became famous as a designer of film posters. He was also prominent as a painter of magazine covers. Clive was the art director and actor for Charlie Chaplin's film "City Life". Many of the illustrations in the Thayer catalogs of magic were also his work. He died of lung cancer in Hollywood, California. Fred Keating was a great admirer of his style of delivery and tried to emulate it.
This original gouache painting by Henry Clive was used as the cover of Randolph Hearst's American Weekly Magazine, August 6, 1944. One from a series of covers that glorified the beauty of women from the cultures America found itself allied with during the dark days of World War II, Global Glamour presented a rare opportunity for Clive to depict women from a variety of races in the guise of pin up and glamour art.

What a sweetheart of a cover! Henry Clive — Picture-Play Magazine — January 1923
Henry Clive (1882 - 1960) . Комментарии : LiveInternet - Российский Сервис Онлайн-Дневников Генри О'Хара (имя данное при рождении) родился в Австралии. Детство художника прошло на ранчо недалко от Мельбурна. Повзрослев, автор отправился в Голливуд развивать проявленный к рисунку талант . В начале 1920-ых, начал создавать Ziegfeld Girls. Затем ему посчастливилось быть арт-директором и работать над фильмами Чарли Чаплина, а так же он попробовал себя найти в другом жанре и примерить роль "злодея" в "Огнях Большого Города". Его пастели красовались в лучших журналах этого времени - True Confessions, Screen Play, Theatre, затем он начал создавать работы для American Weeklу, сотрудничество с журналом продолжалось с 1930-х по 1950-е г.г. Его очаровательные женские образы использовались для упаковки косметики, для создания календарей и рекламы. Один из немногих иллюстраторов, которого нельзя назвать всерьез "семьянином", и который шесть раз пытался создать семью, официально регистрируя браки. Работы автора ценят коллекционеры, но к сожалению иллюстрации художника редко можно встретить.
