Gibson Girls

So Right now in our Intro to American History class we are learning about the Gilded Age after the Civil War. And one of the artist that we came across of Charles Gibson. From the artwork we discussed in class, I found a deep interest in his artwork. Especially the Gibson Girls caught my eyes. First of all Charles Gibson was born on September 14, 1867 and died on December 23, 1944. He was an American graphic artist. He had many iconic representation of the beautiful and independent American woman at the turn of the 20th century. He brought power to the beautiful girls. Compared to many other artist at the time, Charles Gibson was an exceptional artist who emphasized the change in the society; A society that praised leisure and wealth.

I love the simplicity and the attitude of his illustration. Also the style back in the 1890's.
