Dean Cornwell (1880-1960) |
|
A student of both Harvey Dunn and British muralist Frank Brangwyn,
Dean Cornwell had a long and successful career as an illustrator,
beginning with a number of serialized novels throughout the 1920’s
and early 1930’s. His versatility made him a perfect choice for such
multi-picture commissions—Cornwell was equally at home illustrating
romantic, adventure or religious stories. He had a perfectionist
streak in him, doing preliminary studies for much of his work. After
his tenure with Brangwyn, Cornwell returned to this country and
subsequently completed a number of major murals of his own. |
