I believe it was sponsored by North Salem Elementary which burned down in 1961. Mr. Scott challenged us to find an error in one of his paintings with many many horses. No one found it until he pointed out that one horse had 5 legs. He was very gracious and kind to all even those like myself with no talent. N. Harris.

My dad sometimes took me with him on those Saturdays. Scotty seemed very old, but now I realize he was in his mid 60s during that time. My dad's early work was, of course, western themed. My dad, Joseph Alve, did a portrait of Mr. Scott which I gave to the North Salem Historical Society when I was cleaning out my parent's home in 2010.nancymhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14688295368366398385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4099827080854690588.post-62670081170563935472016-04-02T15:03:11.128-07:002016-04-02T15:03:11.128-07:00You're welcome, James.

The size is definitely bigger than the picture I have, and there are 3 additional pictures in the article showing some more paintings, but not the artist at work. So I skipped them. Since you have the magazine, enjoy.<br /><br />Scott was a prolific artist. Between 1936 and 1942, he appeared on at least one pulp cover each month. His average number of cover appearances in that period was about 3 and a half covers a month. Unbelievable, isn't it.<br /><br />As for the distinction between art and illustration, I found myself nodding in agreement with this article:<br /><br />http://illustrationart.blogspot.com/2011/10/old-question-finally-answered.html<br /><br />There's a lot of great art there, too.Sai Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14480681895921130917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4099827080854690588.post-24293517967575233072016-04-02T05:17:28.673-07:002016-04-02T05:17:28.673-07:00I have a run of the war time LIFE'S in my base...I have a run of the war time LIFE'S in my basement; I'll have to dig this issue out. I see this article buys into the old prejudice that illustrators are not serious artists, etc. In fact I once took a college course on Art Appreciation and the instructor flat out stated that illustrators are not artists at all. I collect original illustration art from the pulps and paperbacks and of course disagree.Walker Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16089880902426182100noreply@blogger.com
