W T Benda /
Wladyslaw Theodor Benda
(1873 - 1948)
Well known in native Poland before venturing to US. Competition to capture the look of "The American Girl" was fierce, but Benda's beautiful women were exotic, not apple-pie pretty like Fishers', Phillips', or Christy's girls: darker, more mysterious, more foreign. Illustrated short stories, advertising, and covers, for Collier's, McCall's, Ladies' Home Journal, Good Housekeeping. Well known for his sculpted face masks and costume designs, used in plays and dances (as well as in his own paintings). |
