Book excerpt: No one painted beautiful and glamorous women like Jon Whitcomb. He was one of the founders of the famous Cooper Studio, as well as the Famous Artists School. His work appeared in major magazines such as Cosmopolitan, McCall's, Good Housekeeping, and Ladies' Home Journal, while his long-running series of ads for Community Silver kept him at the top of the advertising field. He mingled with movie stars, and was one of the highest paid and highest profile artists of his era. This new book presents a glorious retrospective of his work, filled with over 300 reproductions of rare photographs, tear sheets, and original artwork.
