Franklin Booth: Silent Symphony is a massive, 304-page book
featuring over 400 pieces that span the artist's entire career.
Accompanying photos of Franklin Booth (1874-1948), his family,
friends and colleagues-along with illustrations by his peers and
inspirations-add nearly fifty more images. A new essay by the
award-winning illustrator and professor Alice A. Carter delves into
Booth's life. This biography highlights his childhood in Indiana,
family life and the earliest days of his professional career, his
road trips, studio life and teaching career with intimate stories
and much more. Quotes of first-hand encounters with Booth by his
students, friends and fellow artists also are shared. Pen-and-ink
drawings cover a fifty-year span-from Booth's earliest days to his
final works. These include his story illustrations for top
magazines of the time, plus a diverse and rare assortment of pieces
made for poems, advertisements and prints. Book illustrations
completed in color as well as pen-and-ink also are featured, along
with rare sketches for an unrealized project. All art was scanned
and photographed from its original source material using the latest
technology and has been painstakingly prepped for this publication.
Franklin Booth's meticulous and unique pen technique has been
revered by artists and students for the last hundred years. No one
has ever been able to duplicate his style. Booth utilized his own
life, philosophies and experiences as vehicles to project his
thoughts to the viewer, which makes his work deeply compelling and
infused with his respect for nature and art. He always listened to
his own voice and developed a style that was not a natural product
of his era. This allowed his work to become timeless and to
continue capturing audiences today. Franklin Booth's influence can
still be seen in modern comic books, fantasy illustrations, concept
art and films. The magnitude of his art is made for the big screen,
with his figures in epic scenes. His work has made its way through
decades of shifting genres and changes in the art world and is
still as immediate today as it was in the early twentieth century.
