Crumbling the Barrier

I so love the medium of drawing, as demonstrated here with a lovely print by the late Jeffrey Catherine Jones, one of the great artists to crumble the barrier between 'illustration' and 'fine art':

  2. I enjoy your blog so much -- what a wonderful illustration!

    The Dahesh Mueseum in New York a few years ago had a wonderful exhibition making the same point -- that much of the magazine illustration done during the Golden Age of magazines were fine art, as well. If you can find the catalog book, it is well worth reading.
