Harrison Fisher's portraits of healthy, poised, active, and confident women set the standard of "American Beauty" in the early 20th century — and he enjoyed a celebrity status that was unparalled for an illustrator. This original publication compiles his very best black-and-white and color illustrations for Cosmopolitan, Saturday Evening Post, assorted books, and other publications.
"This is the only book you´ll ever need. Herein I have collected the produce of my continual forays into ´the plastic flow of the earth´s interior´ and poetical translations of the ´cryptic discharge of the material nothingness,´ including meditations on ´skin-sortie, drink empery, Now Sound.´ There´s even a wee bit of prose for those who like to read all the way to the right margin. In the words of I, Adult Strong, ´See atoms lifeless!´ Feel my throbbing emptiness. Experience ´the wild heat of a morbid heart.´ Buy this, die strangely happy."
