Guernsey Moore
(1874-1925) |
| Guernsey Moore
studied at the Germantown Academy before attending the Pennsylvania
Academy of Fine Arts. In 1899, along with J. J. Gould, he helped
redesign the format of the Saturday Evening Post changing it
from a tabloid to a well-illustrated magazine widely known for its
artwork and two-color, poster style covers. Moore’s style of
painting contained heavily outlined images that were strongly
symmetrical, reminiscent of the ongoing Arts and Crafts movement. He
later worked designing costumes and decorations for pageants as well
as painting several murals. |
