Ellsworth Young (1866 Albia, Iowa – 1952 Evanston, Illinois) was an American magazine and book illustrator, and a noted painter of landscapes. He worked for the Works Progress Administration (WPA) Collection of the Illinois State Museum, and was employed by the ''Denver Times'' and ''The Chicago Tribune'' as an editorial illustrator. Ellsworth Young studied at The Art Institute of Chicago with Oliver Dennett Grover and John Vanderpoel.〔http://www.thistlefineart.com/YoungEllsworth.htm〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Young, Ellsworth )〕 Young, an Illinois artist, was a member of the ''Chicago Painters and Sculptors'' and the ''Oak Park River Forest Art League''. He painted several posters for the war effort of World War I, his best-known probably being "Remember Belgium". The Allied Nations made use of images of supposed German atrocities to bolster their propaganda machine. In 2010 Western Illinois University began looking at stored works of art to refurbish, and discovered a rolled-up painting which held “tremendous historical significance.” It was a painting by Young of a river landscape in autumn, and had been commissioned in 1934 to hang in Monroe Hall (later known as Grote Hall) and remaining there for some 60 years until the Hall was demolished in 1991. The painting was sent to the Chicago Conservation Center to be restored.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=RockeNews--February 2012 )〕 ==Gallery== File:Remember Belgium.jpg|"Remember Belgium" File:Ellsworth Young03.jpg|Displayed at Western Illinois University File:Ellsworth Young02.jpg|World War I poster File:Ellsworth Young13.jpg|Zenobia 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ellsworth Young」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
