the true mastery of j.c. leyendecker's art

We all know Joseph Christian Leyendecker for his expertly painted characters and covers for the Saturday Evening Post, but there is so much more to his art than just his formal painting skills. Leyendecker was a composer, a storyteller, an influencer of visual language for the American people. So let's learn from this American Imagist and apply it to our own work and how we see and market contemporary art now. Book Referenced: J.C. Leyendecker: American Imagist by Laurence S.
