Henry Soulen
(1888-1965) |
| Thomas Henry
Soulen studied first at the Chicago Academy of Fine Arts, and then
in Wilmington with Howard Pyle. He
specialized in industrial and exotic illustrations, setting many of
his scenes in the numerous "Chinatowns" that were scattered
throughout the country. Soulen’s strong use of color was such that
many periodicals, including Ladies’ Home Journal, would save
one of their few color pages for his work. His bright pages would
enliven not only the story he was illustrating, but the overall look
of the magazine as well. |
