 J. C. Leyendecker in 1895
Joseph Christian Leyendecker (1874 – 1951) was one of the pre-eminent American illustrators of the early 20thcentury. He is best known for his poster, book and advertising illustrations, the trade character known as The Arrow Collar Man, and his numerous covers for The Saturday Evening Post.


Between 1896 and 1950 Leyendecker illustrated more than 400 magazine covers including 322 for The Saturday Evening Post, as well as many advertisement illustrations for its interior pages. No other artist, until the arrival of Norman Rockwell two decades later, was so solidly identified with one publication.


Leyendecker was born in 1874 in Montabaur, Germany. The family moved to Chicago in 1882. After working in late adolescence for an engraving firm in Chicago, and completing his first commercial commission of 60 Bible illustrations for the Powers Brother Company, he sought formal artistic training at the Chicago Art Institute.


After studying drawing and anatomy under John H. Vanderpoel at the Institute, Joseph and his younger brother, Frank Xavier Leyendecker, enrolled at the Académie Julian in Paris for a year, where they were exposed to the work of Toulouse Lautrec, Jules Chéret and Alphonse Mucha. The brothers returned to America in 1899 and set up residence in Hyde Park, Illinois, and had a studio in Chicago. That year Joseph received his first commission for The Saturday Evening Post, beginning his four –year association.


The brothers moved to New York in 1900 and during the next decade the brothers began lucrative long-term relationships with apparel manufacturers including Interwoven Socks, Kuppenheimer & Co., and Cluett Peabody and Co.

The latter resulted in Joseph Leyendecker’s most important commission when he was hired to develop a series of images for Arrow brand shirt collars. Leyendecker often used his favourite model and partner, Charles Beach.

In 1914 the Leyendeckers and Charles Beach moved into a large home and studio in New Rochelle, New York, where J.C. would remain for the rest of his life.

During World War 1 Leyendecker produced recruitment posters for the United States military. The 1920s saw Leyendecker at the peak of his career, with some of his most recognisable work completed during this period, and he himself became recognised as being among America’s pre-eminent commercial artists. (Frank Leyendecker died in 1924).

The 1930s saw a decline in Leyendecker’s popularity, (the shirt, tie and collar industry had seriously declined after 1921), and the Wall Street Crash of 1929 also contributed to Leyendecker’s fall in commissions. His last cover for The Saturday Evening Post was January 2, 1943.

Édouard Manet - part 1

Édouard Manet in 1846c
Édouard Manet (1832 – 1883) was a French painter. He was one of the first 19th century artists to paint modern life, and was a pivotal figure in the transition from Realism to Impressionism. His early masterworks “Le déjeuner sur l’herbe” (The luncheon on the Grass) and “Olympia”, both painted in 1863, caused great controversy and served as rallying points for the young painters who would create Impressionism. Today, these are considered watershed paintings that mark the genesis of modern art.


Born in Paris in 1832, he was the son of Auguste Manet, a high-ranking judge, and Eugénie-Desirée Fournier, the daughter of a diplomat and the goddaughter of the Swedish crown prince. Affluent and well connected, the couple hoped their son would choose a respectable career, preferably law. Édouard refused, and wanted to create art.


Manet’s uncle, Edmond Fournier, supported his early interests and arranged frequent trios for him to the Louvre. His father, ever fearful that his family’s prestige would be tarnished, continued to present Manet with more “appropriate” options. In 1848 Manet boarded a Navy vessel headed for Brazil; his father hoped he might take to a seafaring life. Manet returned in 1849 and promptly failed his naval examinations. He repeatedly failed over the course of a decade, so his parents finally gave in and supported his dream of attending art school.


At age 18 Manet began studying under Thomas Couture, learning the basics of drawing and painting. For several years Manet would steal away to the Louvre and sit for hours copying the works of the old masters. Between 1853 and 1856 he travelled through Italy, Germany and Holland to take in the brilliance of several admired painters; notably Frans Hals, Diego Velázquez and Francisco Goya.


After six years as a student Manet finally opened his own studio. His painting “The Absinthe Drinker” is a fine example of his early attempts at realism, the most popular style of the day. Despite his success with realism, Manet began to entertain a looser, more impressionistic style. Using broad brushstrokes, he chose as his subjects everyday people engaged in everyday tasks. His canvases were populated with singers, street people, gypsies and beggars. This unconventional focus combined with a mature knowledge of the old masters startled some and impressed others.


For his painting “Concert in the Tuileries Gardens,” Manet set up his easel in the open air and stood for hours while he composed a fashionable crowd of city dwellers. When he showed the painting, some thought it unfinished, while others understood what he was trying to convey. (See below in this post)

Perhaps his most famous painting “Le déjeuner sur l’herbe,” which he completed and exhibited in 1863. The scene of two young men dressed and sitting beside a female nude alarmed several of the jury members making selections for the annual Paris Salon, the official exhibition hosted by the Académie des beaux-Arts in Paris. Due to its perceived indecency, they refused to show it. Manet was not alone, as more than 4000 works were denied entry that year. In response Napoleon III established the Salon des Refusés to exhibit some of those rejected works, including Manet’s submission.

During this time he married Suzanne Leenhoff, a Dutch woman. She had been Manet’s piano tutor when he was a child. By the time they officially married, they had been involved for nearly ten years and had an infant (step)son named Leon Keoella Leenhoff. The boy posed for his father for the 1861 painting “Boy Carrying a Sword” (see in this post below). Suzanne was the model for several paintings, including “The Reading” (1865–73).

Trying once again to gain acceptance into the Salon, Manet submitted “Olympia” in 1865. This striking portrait, inspired by Titian’s “Venus of Urbino,” shows a lounging nude beauty unabashedly staring at her viewers. The Salon jury members were not impressed – they deemed it scandalous, as did the general public. Manet’s contemporaries on the other hand began to think of him as a hero, willing to break the mould. In hindsight, he was ringing in a new style and leading the transition to Impressionism. Within 42 years “Olympia” would be installed in the Louvre museum.

After this unsuccessful attempt with the Salon, Manet travelled to Spain, during which time he painted a number of Spanish subjects. In 1866 he met and befriended the novelist Emile Zola, who in 1867 wrote a glowing article about Manet in the French newspaper Le Figaro. He pointed out that almost all significant artists start by offending the current public sensibilities. This review impressed the art critic Louis-Edmond Duranty, who began to support Manet as well. Painters like Cezanne, Gauguin, Degas and Monet became his friends.

Some of Manet’s best-loved works are his café scenes. His completed paintings were often based on small sketches he made whilst out socialising. These works, such as “At the Café”  and “The Café Concert” (both 1878) typically depict 19th century Parisian culture. Unlike conventional painters of his time, he strove to illuminate the rituals of both common and bourgeoisie French people.

In stark contrast to his café scenes, Manet also painted the tradegies and triumphs of war. In 1870 he served as a soldier during the Franco-German War and observed the destruction of Paris. His studio was partially destroyed during the siege of Paris, but to his delight, the art dealer Paul Durand-Ruel bought everything he could salvage from the wreckage for 50,000 francs.

In 1874 Manet was invited to show at the very first exhibition put on by Impressionist artists. However supportive he was of the general movement, he turned them down, as well as seven other invitations. He felt it was necessary to remain devoted to the Salon and its place in the art world. In 1875, a year after the first Impressionist exhibition he was offered the opportunity to illustrate Edgar Allen Poe’s book-length French edition of “The Raven.”

In 1881 the French government awarded him the Legion d’honneur. He died two years later in April 1883.

1855-59c The Barque of Dante

There are two versions by Manet of Delacroix’s painting of 1822 (Musée du Louvre, Paris). The more literal copy dates from around 1855, when the original was on view at the Exposition Universelle. The other freely executed study is thought to date from around 1859, the year of Manet’s first Salon submission.

Édouard Manet (1832 – 1883) was a French painter. He was one of the first 19th century artists to paint modern life, and was a pivotal figure in the transition from Realism to Impressionism. His early masterworks “Le déjeuner sur l’herbe” (The luncheon on the Grass) and “Olympia”, both painted in 1863, caused great controversy and served as rallying points for the young painters who would create Impressionism. Today, these are considered watershed paintings that mark the genesis of modern art.

1862c Street Singer

Manet was inspired by the sight of a woman with a guitar emerging from a sleazy café. She refused to pose for the picture, so Manet employed his favourite model of the 1860s, Victorine Meurent.

No one embodied this new aesthetic better than Victorine Meurent – Manet was to paint her nine times in total, producing two pictures in particular that would shake up the art world forever. The story goes that Manet spotted the 18 year old musician hurrying through the streets and decided she would be the ideal subject to illustrate his new way of seeing the world.

The second time Victorine sat for Manet, something remarkable happened. In Victorine Meurent (c1862) Manet grants her all the attention that a more conventional painter might lavish on a society beauty. She is no longer a generic, anonymous ‘street singer’ but is afforded the honour of being named.


It was though, Manet’s next painting that projected Victorine into the middle of a public scandal. Le déjeuner sur l’herbe(1863) famously shows three people lounging on the grass following what looks like an excellent picnic of fruit and oysters. In many ways it is a typical tableau – except for the fact that although the young men are fully clothed, their female companion is completely naked.


If Le déjeuner sur l’herbe hinted at sexual activity, Olympia (1863) left nothing to the imagination. In it, she appears as a courtesan lying on a rumpled post-coital bed. Leaning towards her is a black maidservant carrying a bouquet that has arrived from a smitten admirer.



Victorine Meurent was to feature in several more paintings by Manet.

1865-66 Bullfight


Manet’s trip to Spain in 1865 lasted only about ten days, though it had a profound impact on him. In a letter to his friend the poet Charles Baudelaire, he described a bullfight he attended in Madrid as “one of the finest, most curious and terrifying sights to be seen.” He made quick sketches there that informed several later canvases, including this one. Here he presented the moment of truth, as bullfighter and bull face one another; a gored horse lies dead or dying in the sand.

1867-68 The Execution of Emporer Maximilian

In 1863 the Austrian, Archduke Ferdinand Maximilian, was installed in Mexico as a puppet Emporer by Napoleon III. He was dependent on the support of the occupying French army, and when Napoleon withdrew his troops, Maximilian was captured by Mexican forces loyal to the legitimate Republican government. He was executed alongside two of his generals on 19 June 1867.

The left-hand section of the canvas showing General Mejía was probably cut off by Manet himself. After the artist’s death the canvas was cut up into smaller fragments, some of which were sold separately. Edgar Degas eventually purchased all the surviving fragments and reassembled them on a single canvas.

Henri Fantin-Latour 1867-80 Portrait of Édouard Manet black crayon, with touches of charcoal, on cream wove paper 39.9 x 31.1 cm Art Institute of Chcago,IL
Édouard Manet (1832 – 1883) was a French painter. He was one of the first 19th century artists to paint modern life, and was a pivotal figure in the transition from Realism to Impressionism. His early masterworks “Le déjeuner sur l’herbe” (The luncheon on the Grass) and “Olympia”, both painted in 1863, caused great controversy and served as rallying points for the young painters who would create Impressionism. Today, these are considered watershed paintings that mark the genesis of modern art.
