What's even more insane is that your ten buck investment is now worth over $200. Bet everyone who didn't snap it up when they had the chance is kicking themselves now.

Oh wow - for a second there I thought you were refering to the original which goes for around 1-2 grand I believe...and then I checked Amazon - I thought this was still around $60!!..I shouldve bought 10!
This was goin for $60-70 less than half a year ago if Im correct?

these paintings in person will blow you away. they're so chunky so thick! there's a painting that sargent did at the met with an old man sitting in the woods and there's a deer next to him. if you know what that painting looks like , cornwell's have that feel.

**Elwell** · July 29th, 2003, 10:34 PM

TEN BUCKS! That's got to be the steal of the decade. All of you must buy this book IMMEDIATLEY, even if you have to pay full price for it.

Amazon link to the Cornwell book

And while you're at it, pick up a copy of Famous American Illustrators too.

Bump... :jump1:

**tinyhands** · February 12th, 2004, 10:55 PM

I love cornwells work. One of my favorites.

-joshuathejames-its great that you've been posting stuff of artists that most people might not know. If you get a chance maybe you can find some stuff on Mead Schaeffer and Saul Tepper. I know Mead did alot of Sat. Eve. Post covers but he did other stuff too. And I think Saul Tepper was another brandywyne guy too. Really hard to find stuff on these guys but if you do, definately worth seeing.

-i.was.ink-what are they teaching you over there!? just kidding. Blame the faculty.

**el coro** · July 12th, 2004, 11:42 PM

i gotta say i've been a disciiple of this guys work for a long time...definitely one of my favorites. just the best mix of everything, that guy...the dunn brandywine training, the brangwyn decorative, and that juicy ass precise brushwork! and the guy walked away from illustration almost entirely at the height of his career to paint murals...a guy after my own heart. its a good thing he died over 50 years ago, cuz if he were still alive, i'd hunt him down and fuck him all prison style to express my afffection for him.-c36

If leyendecker was still alive you might have a better shot with him

**Denart** · July 13th, 2004, 01:53 PM

dang Joshua, you got a great deal there!

and the guy walked away from illustration almost entirely at the height of his career to paint murals...

so did N.C. Wyeth!

and then he died when a train ran over him while inside his car.

Nooo! He still had many great works that were bound to come.
