Arthur Rackham Arthur Rackham was born in 1867 into a Victorian age that he perpetuated and documented by way of his art. Arthur Rackham was one of twelve children. Arthur Rackham studied at the City of London School where he won prizes and a reputation for his art. At the age of 18, Arthur Rackham became a clerk. It was, after all, a Dickensian world as well, where clerks played a significant role in both fiction and real life. |

| Arthur Rackham - Wind in the WillowsHe never lost the joy and sense of wonderment and he never gave in to the baser styles that fell in and out of favor over the years. From Queen Victoria's death in 1901 to the start of World War I, Rackham's illustrations preserved a lifestyle and a sensibility that kept the frighteningly modern future at bay. His beautiful drawings were the antithesis of the industrial advances that allowed them to be printed at affordable prices. Even into the twenties and thirties, his art was a constant reminder of those aspects of innocence that had been left behind. Rackham Arthur always kept his gentle humor and his Wind in the Willows (at left), published posthumously in 1940, is as much a children's classic as his Peter Pan. Arthur Rackham died in 1939. |

There are literally hundreds of web sites
that feature Rackham art, books or
information. I found one that reproduces
many of the images from his Alice. Many
others have samplings of his art. I
encourage you to explore. Though his father planned a business career for him, renowned illustrator Arthur Rackham worked in an insurance office for seven years while he attended art school at night and began to get established in the profession Arthur Rackham had leaned toward since childhood. His legacy is a long list of highly regarded books, many classics among them--including Gulliver's Travels, Rip Van Winkle, and Peter Pan--graced with the imaginative illustrations that earned him critical acclaim and a wide following in his lifetime. After his death, Rackham's early works became collectors' treasures. Arthur Rackham was born on September 19, 1867, in London, to Alfred Thomas Rackham, a civil servant, and Anne Stevenson Rackham. There were twelve children in the family; Arthur Rackham told The Junior Book of Authors that his boyhood "was spent in a noisy, merry, busy little community of work and play almost large enough to be independent of outside engagements." Artwork Gains Acceptance After his years in the insurance office, Rackham joined the staff of the newspaper, Westminster Budget, where Arthur Rackham worked from 1892 to 1896 and became known for his feature, "Sketches from the Life." At the same time, Arthur Rackham was doing freelance work. The year 1899 was a difficult period for him--the "worst time in my life," as Arthur Rackham described it in Bookman--because of changing values in art and the growing popularity of photography. But his unique talent began to gain recognition from other artists, and soon Arthur Rackham was sought by art societies, dealers, and publishers. His work in Fairy Tales of the Brothers Grimm, published in 1900, marked the beginning of his fame as an illustrator. - Arthur Rackham oil paintings copy of original oil painting - Arthur Rackham original oil painting copy – copy original oil paintings, Arthur Rackham Bio by English original oil paintings of English original oil painting Arthur Rackham. By 1910 Rackham was regarded as a leading illustrator. Arthur Rackham had been "elected an associate member of the Royal Society of Painters in Water Colours in 1902 and was promoted to full membership six years later," according to Fantastic Illustration and Design in Britain, 1850-1930. Rackham Arthur had become a member of the Art Workers' Guild in 1909 and was very active in that organization during the years from 1917 to 1919; in 1919 Arthur Rackham held the master's chair. He spoke publicly about art and illustration, and in the 1920s Rackham Arthur visited the United States more than once to meet some of his following here. In 1923 Rackham Arthur addressed a high school class in New Jersey, and during his 1929 trip Arthur Rackham was discomfited by the noise of New York but pleased by the warm reception Arthur Rackham was given. Rackham's immediate family was involved in art, too. Arthur Rackham married the portrait painter Edyth Starkie in 1903, and their daughter, Barbara, born in 1908, was sometimes a model for her father. Much later, in 1931, she traveled to Denmark with him on his search for illustrations for Hans Christian Andersen's Fairy Tales. After the Rackhams built a house at Limpsfield, Surrey, their garden provided inspiration for Rackham's work, especially a favorite old beech tree that served as a model for some of the many trees with gnarled branches and human-like faces that were hallmarks of his work. Illustrates Classic Work Early in Rackham's career, according to a Horn Book article by George Macy, Kenneth Grahame asked Arthur Rackham to illustrate his book, The Wind in the Willows. Arthur Rackham had been too busy to accept the invitation and had regretted it for nearly thirty years. In 1936, Macy visited Rackham to persuade him to illustrate another book, but the outcome of the visit was an agreement that Rackham would illustrate The Wind in the Willows first. It was the last book Rackham illustrated. Arthur Rackham had agreed to deliver the watercolors to the publisher in the spring of 1938, but at that time he had to undergo surgery for cancer. Arthur Rackham continued the job nevertheless, able toward the end to work only half an hour a day, and finished in the late summer of 1939, just before England declared war on Germany. On September 7, Arthur Rackham died. - Arthur Rackham oil paintings copy of original oil painting - Arthur Rackham original oil painting copy – copy original oil paintings, Arthur Rackham Bio by English original oil paintings of English original oil painting Arthur Rackham. |

Robert Lawson paid this tribute to the artist in Horn Book in 1940: "The appreciation of Rackham's genius has suffered, I think, by its complete perfection. All his drawings appear so polished, so finished, so graceful, that many fail to realize the great strength and firm knowledge that underlie this seeming ease." And in October, 1967, Ellen Shaffer also said in Horn Book, "It has been nearly thirty years since the death of Arthur Rackham; a whole new generation has reached maturity in that period and been charmed by his work, as were their parents and their grandparents before them. Their children, too, are delighting in the books Rackham Arthur illustrated, and their appreciation of his art will grow with the years." | ||||||
