"Wonderful collection of 50's art" according to Jeff. I am a cartoonist. I am always looking for books I to add to my home collection for inspiration. E-books have their place, but for my personal artistic purposes I prefer the tactile experience of having an open book on my drawing table.A fellow artist I know had the "Lifestyle Illustrations of the 60s" book and I was shopping for that edition, but it's been out of stock. I saw the 50's version and jumped on it. From the previews alone, and having seen the 60s book up close, I knew I was going to love "Lifestyle I. "The art of forgotten art" according to Robin.

This latest one follows the same format as the 60s with over 1300 illustrations and almost all of them in color.

Sam Richard said Excelllent book with excellent artwork!. An excellent book for those who want a glimpse of the 1950s as well as those who appreciate the art style from numerous artists during the 1950s! These high quality images allows you to view detail which may have been missed have the published decided to not consider the minute details the artists put into their work. I personally use this book for ideas for my art work! If you are looking to find styles similar to Robert E. McGinnis (and many others), Lifestyle Illustrations of the 50s will not disappoint you!
