Fine Graphic Art

There is something so universal and appealing with commercial art from the 1930s. It was the apex of a fine graphic art that had begun 50 years before, blending type and design with dynamic composition and saturated color. Those who try to imitate or emulate it in our day can't quite catch the elusive quality that came naturally to an entire generation of artists of that era. Bless their hearts, it was a wonderful generation.

About Me

My photo
Thomas Haller Buchanan
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.
