Plot
Issue 22 is devoted the the story of Bardon Art, one of the most revolutionary artist's agencies to emerge from the post-war boom in international illustration.
With the help of Bardon's founder, Barry Coker, and access to hitherto unpublished art and testimony from many of the leading players, Diego Cordoba brings to life the story of this most influential agency.
Artists featured include Matias Alonso, Luis Bermejo, Jose Ortiz, Jordi Longaron, and Jordi Penalva. Other artists mentioned (many with illustrations) include John M Burns, Enric Badia Romero, Carlos Ezquerra, Toutain, Jim Lawrence, Jordi Franch, Jesus Blasco, and many more!
With a foreword by Dave Gibbons, a fascinating introduction to the genesis of Bardon in London and Barcelona, and profiles of Barry Coker and Jordi Macabich.
More like a book than a magazine, illustrators is the art quarterly devoted to the finest illustration art ever published. It guides you through the stories behind the artists and their art, with features written by some of the leading authorities on this important art form.
As well as building into an indispensable reference library, illustrators gives readers an insight into the creative process, from idea to sketch to painting, and from painting to the image seen by millions.
Truly fabulous artwork abounds in every issue, much of the art taken from scans of the original work.
