John Gannam's Watercolors of Motherhood
John Gannam, watercolor and gouache on board, 13 x 11.5 in.
(33 x 29.2 cm.), illustration for Pacific Mills, 1945
John Gannam (American, 1907–1965) painted images of mothers and children for American magazines after WWII.
The Society of Illustrators writes: "John Gannam was the ultimate illustrator’s artist. A funny looking, baldheaded little guy, he painted beautiful women with a love and flow of sensitivity."
According to Walt Reed, "Gannam worked at his paintings almost vertically, very freely, his brush loaded with water."
"He was after the broad, but exact, effect. He was little concerned with details or with corrections that could be made later, if needed, with opaque."
"Light—that's what fascinates Gannam; light, color, values." observed Ernest Watson. "He talks about values more than anything else, declaring that 'in watercolor, values practically do the trick.'"
