This color illustration, dated 23rd May 1928, graced the front cover of The Bystander, a renowned British weekly magazine. The image, created by the talented British artist H. H. Harris, showcases a young, fashionable woman in an elegant setting. She sits confidently at an easel, her reflection mirrored in the polished surface, as she applies makeup meticulously. The School of Applied Art, as the title suggests, was a place where art was not just an avocation but a practical application of creativity and skill. The woman in the illustration embodies the spirit of this educational institution, where students learned to apply artistic principles to various fields, including fashion, graphic design, and advertising. H. H. Harris, a prolific illustrator, expertly captured the essence of the era, with its emphasis on glamour and self-expression. The use of vibrant colors and intricate details adds to the allure of the image, making it a visual feast for the eyes. This illustration is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the early 20th century, a time when art and design intersected in fascinating ways. It also highlights the evolving role of women in society, as they embraced their creativity and individuality, both in their personal lives and in their professional pursuits. The School of Applied Art, with its focus on practical application, was instrumental in shaping the careers of many artists and designers, who went on to make significant contributions to the world of art and design. This illustration serves as a reminder of the enduring power of art education and the creative spirit that drives it.
