{"title":"Gibson, Charles Dana","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCharles Dana Gibson (1867-1944)\u003c\/strong\u003e was an American illustrator who created the Gibson Girl, an iconic representation of the beautiful and independent American woman at the turn of the 20th century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe published his illustrations in Life magazine and other major national publications for more than 30 years, becoming editor in 1918 and later owner of the general interest magazine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGibson was born in Roxbury, Massachusetts on September 14, 1867. He was a son of Josephine Elizabeth (née Lovett) and Charles DeWolf Gibson. He had five siblings and was a descendant of U.S. Senators James DeWolf and William Bradford.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA talented youth with an early interest in art, Gibson was enrolled by his parents in New York City's Art Students League, where he studied for two years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePeddling his pen-and-ink sketches, Gibson sold his first work in 1886 to Life magazine. It featured general interest articles, humour, illustrations and cartoons. His works appeared weekly in the popular national magazine for more than 30 years. He quickly built a wider reputation, with his drawings being featured in all the major New York publications, including Harper's Weekly, Scribners and Collier's. His illustrated books include the 1898 editions of Anthony Hope's The Prisoner of Zenda and its sequel Rupert of Hentzau as well as Richard Harding Davis' Gallegher and Other Stories.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is an often repeated urban legend that Gibson's wife and her elegant Langhorne sisters inspired his famous Gibson Girls, who became iconic images in early 20th-century society. The truth is that the first Gibson Girl appeared in 1890, more than two years before Gibson ever met the Langhorne family, and in later years it became fashionable for many of Gibson's friends and family to model for his illustrations. Their dynamic and resourceful father Chiswell Langhorne had his wealth severely reduced by the Civil War, but by the late 19th century, he had rebuilt his fortune on tobacco auctioneering and the railroad industry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter the death of John Ames Mitchell in 1918, Gibson became editor of Life and later took over as owner of the magazine. As the popularity of the Gibson Girl faded after World War I, Gibson took to working in oils for his own pleasure. In 1918, he was elected into the National Academy of Design as an Associate member and became a full Academician in 1932.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe retired in 1936, the same year Scribner's published his biography, Portrait of an Era as Drawn by C. D. Gibson: A Biography by Fairfax Downey. At the time of his death in 1944, he was considered \"the most celebrated pen-and-ink artist of his time as well as a painter applauded by the critics of his later work.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGibson died of a heart ailment in 1944, aged 77, at 127 East 73rd Street, his home in New York City. After a private funeral service at the Gibson home in New York, he was interred at Mount Auburn Cemetery in Cambridge, Massachusetts.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"gibson-new-cartoons-1916-charles-dana-gibson-1867-1944-11-images","title":"Gibson New Cartoons 1916 -
