Philips was an illustrator and painter early in the 20th century, his first magazine cover appearing on Life's February 1908 issue. In addition to long runs doing cover art for Life and Good Housekeeping, Phillips was in high demand for advertisements. In turn, he was one of the first artists to insist his name appear on each of his images. I'm really drawn to the scenes he creates and the bold vs. implied line-work.
For lots more images and information, visit the American Art Archives. Be sure to read the copy for the advertisements, too...."you can expect only man's luck." So great.
