MY WORK.
(By Poster Artist,).
There was a time when to admit that I did posters for a big, business house. would have damned me irrevocably in art circles." It would Have so damaged my reputation. that the Council of the Royal Acuderby would have unhesitating. "Ty rejected any work I went in,-and-l the art critics would have found nothing good to say of any exhibi- tion of my works I myself held. Times-huyo changed, however; and I can do posters now for any com- mercial concern from a railway to s drapery store without feeling like á | renegade. It is a distinctly profite able business-more profitable. than the production of works of art for wealthy private persons to purchase for their collections.
To be successful at pos ́er work man has to have a good inny qualities besides the slicer tempera- ment and technical ability which make him a good artist. He must be very live, quick to
see, the possibilities of a subject. He must understand people as well as art. And if he is going to make money le must have a good business head, -otherwise he will find himself_sell- ing his work year after year in a poor market, or he may plod along with one. firia when he should be enlarging his market and putting up his price.
A competent poster artist
gets to know how best to put over" some particular commodity or idea. In theory, that is the job of the advertising nun-he gets the idea, and the artist carries it out. But in practice I suggest as often as not the subject of the picture which is to advertise the goods. I never explain in a picture that is for the huck. There are a thousand men and women who can draw s straight explanative picture to accompany advertising matter, to every one who can create a picture | which arrests simply as a picture and yet has a subtle bearing on the thing to which thousande people's attention is to be drawn.

The ides of advertising a motor car by an appeal to the travel instinct firat and to a particular make of car second is novel; and so is the idea of advertising a tooth. brush by first arousing human interest in the life of main the days when the world was young But the whole, trend of "big" advertising is in this direction, and it gives the artist a chance which
He never had before.
The work is fascinating, and it us to be taken with the utmost seriousness. Any man who thinks he can throw off posters and adver- tising pictures with his tongne in his olieek, or scamp through them because he despises the whole thing very soon finds out that if he is not prepared to give all that is in him he is no good to the men who pay him. His work is flat. The rewards for the successful men. are very large. Some make severs! thousands of pounds you first-rate man can make his thousand a year fair
