McClelland Barclay
(1891-1943) |
| McClelland
Barclay began his art studies in his hometown of St. Louis, studying
at the Museum of Fine Arts there. Later he trained at the Art
Students League in New York, studying with George Bridgman and
Thomas Fogarty. Barclay painted primarily magazine covers and
advertising illustrations—he was known as a "pretty-girl artist,"
and is most famous for the "Body by Fisher" series of ads he did
for the manufacturing company during the twenties and thirties. He
was commissioned as a Lieutenant Commander in the Naval Reserves
during World War II, and subsequently did a large number of
war-related art commissions for the Navy before being killed in
action. |
