Edwin Georgi | Magazine Illustrator

Edwin Georgi (1896-1964) was an American artist born in 1896.

He was best known for his dynamic pin-up illustrations, but surprisingly, based on his talent, he did not initially pursue art as a career.

A leader in the second wave of "pretty-girl" artists: more like pin-ups without actually being pin-ups.

Largely self-taught, learning his way up in ad and art agencies. A pilot in WWI.

Ron Di Scenza, 1954 | Figurative impressionist painter

American artist🎨 Ron Di Scenza has a fitting last name. In Italian, conoscenza means knowledge or awareness, and a knowing sense of familiarity comes through Di Scenza's canvases, giving his images special meaning and significance.

Di Scenza's deep understanding of human nature is expressed in the faces and body language of his figures, much like Spanish painter Diego Velazquez🎨 and his ability to report life as it is recalls American painter John Singer Sargent🎨.

Especially exciting, Di Scenza's detailed realism is on par with Flemish painter Johannes Vermeer🎨, while the soulfulness of his subjects brings to mind Italian artist Michelangelo Caravaggio🎨.
