The lecture focuses the work of the American illustrator Coles Phillips
(1880-1927), whose so-called fade-away girl was a fixture on the covers
of early-twentieth-century popular journals. Phillips’s conspicuous
investment in abstraction--which he accessed by working through the
structural tropes of avant-garde photography--not only made his graphic
designs stand out from the competition, but also helped him to make a
case for commercial illustration as a particular mode of subjective
visualization.
