Franklin Booth
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Franklin Booth, born 1874 and raised in Indiana, was an artist who worked mainly with ink and a pen. His works are characterised by thousands of lines, whose careful positioning next to one another determine the density and shade of that particular region. His unusual technique was the result of a misunderstanding: As a boy, Booth scrupulously copied magazine illustrations which he thought were pen and ink drawings. In fact, they were wood engravings.
Roy Krenkel has admitted Booth as an influence and has dedicated some of his paintings to him. He was primarily a commercial artist and his works have been used in Harpers, Century, Everybody's, McClure's, Cosmopolitan, Redbook, Good Housekeeping, House & Garden, Ladies Home Journal and others.
