Good golly Miss Molly, I am under deadline pressure, now and over the weekend. I'll quickly post a few images so you don't go away empty handed. These are more sketches by Sir William Russell Flint:
Flint's work doesn't get nearly as much attention as it deserves. I never once ran across mention of it it the various books at which I'd looked on graphic arts. Instead, I stumbled upon it a few years ago by way of an eBay search for the work of an author. (Flint happened to illustrate some of that author's books.)
Yes, there should be coffee table art books published on many under appreciated 20th century masters. Instead, publishers keep churning out the standards that we've all seen a million times. Most art book sections of most new book stores are boring selections aimed at selling to boring consumers.
I am posting these images with a non-profit and educational 'fair use' motive, regarding respective copyrights. Anyone downloading and using these images for any commercial use would be in violation of respective copyrights, and does not have my approval for such use.
My name is Thom Buchanan.
I'm an artist and photographer.
People are my favorite subjects to portray in art and photos. My wife (and studio partner) has called that my 'people skills', as I've been passionately creating portrait studies for many years.
I refer to myself as a pictorialist, a combination of image-making and journalist. Images are my life.

Agreed.
He is one of the turn of century masters that I'm surprised more people don't know about.
I wish there was a mass market coffee table book available on his art.
