Willy Pogany had a style that seemed to oscillate between each adventurous book that he illustrated —the same basic style, but on slightly different frequencies — always with classical composition and graphic impact. So many of his books were wonders to behold.
The book below has a number of pen & ink illustrations, but here are the color plates.Willy Pogany
The Adventures of Odysseus and the Tale of Troy — 1918
The Judgement of Paris
The Fair Helen
Achilles Victorious
The Princess Threw the Ball
The Sorrowing Odysseus
Circe
The Sirens
Penelope Unravelling the Web
I love Willy Pogany's work!
