Overall Description:
This is an article spread from The American Magazine of Art, published in September 1924, featuring two of George H. Hallowell’s paintings — “Logging Camps” and “Resurrection” — accompanied by a critical essay by William Howe Downes. The magazine’s clean, traditional typography and the monochrome reproductions reflect the period’s editorial design. The article highlights Hallowell as an artist whose work blends realism with romantic imagination, and explores the expressive power of an artist’s personal “bias or slant.” The spread effectively juxtaposes two very different subjects from the artist’s oeuvre — a gritty industry scene and a spiritual, mural-scale composition.
