Digest This: David Stone Martin Illos from RDCB

Posted on 10:05 by Unknown
Today's Reader's Digest Condensed Books artwork is by David Stone Martin. Since I've written so extensively about DSM in previous posts, I'm going to keep the commentary to a minimum -- enjoy the pictures!

I wrote about David Stone Martin's career back in 2008. If you're interested in reading those posts, here are the links:

David Stone Martin: Modernism Meets Traditionalism

David Stone Martin: Early Days

David Stone Martin: For the Record

David Stone Martin: "...unusual pictures, vitalized by many strange textures"

David Stone Martin: "Bending a wire"

Or if you'd rather just stay here and peruse another batch of DSM illos, here's his work from another RDCB - this time from 1963.
