| Abstract: | The article features artists who have found that pen-and-ink is a medium that allows quick work, strong contrast, and surprising subtlety. They include Honoré Daumier, Charles Dana Gibson, David Beynon Pena and Neil McMillan. Gibson invented the character of the Gibson Girl, a smart, independent, vivacious, and attractive type of young lady whose presence and poise command the respect and admiration of the entire male gender. He reworked the venerable art of pen-and-ink to suit the ebullience and optimism of a new continent and a new age. |
