Charles Edward
Chambers
(1883-1941) |
|
Charles Edward Chambers was born in Ottumwa, Iowa, studied at the
Chicago Art Institute, and later at the Art Student's League in New
York with George Bridgman. His illustrations were extremely
skillful, marked by subtlety of value and color. He early learned to
adapt his method of painting for the best possible reproductions.
Chambers divided his time almost evenly between editorial and
advertising assignments. He painted a dramatic series of cover
designs for
Redbook, worked under exclusive contract for Cosmopolitan
Magazine for several years, and illustrated such authors as
Pearl Buck, Louis Bromfield, Faith Baldwin, and W. Somerset Maugham. |
