Charles Dana Gibson
(1867-1944) |
| Charles Dana
Gibson received his early training in Paris, studying with Augustus
Saint Gaudens, and later, when he returned to this country, at the
Art Students League. Working almost exclusively in pen-and-ink, he
is most famous for creating "the Gibson Girl", a modern
girl-about-town that became the fashion rage around the turn of the
century. Gibson’s popularity was such that in 1904 he signed a
$100,000 contract with Collier’s magazine, making him the
highest paid illustrator in the country. |
