Paul Martin (illustrator)
Paul Martin (June 6, 1883, New York City, New York – March 19, 1932, Ossining, New York)〔Register of Deaths for the Village of Ossining, NY. His then home address was in nearby Millwood. It's also verified via the Census of 1930.〕 was a graphic artist and illustrator. His artwork appeared on nine different magazine covers between 1923 & 1936. Martin redesigned the then-iconic Fisk Tire Boy. He played in tennis tournaments around the Greater New York area from 1910-31. The annual Paul Martin Singles Tournament is named after him.
==Background==
The Father of American Illustration was the multi-talented Howard Pyle. Others who gained much fame in this field included Howard Chandler Christy, James Montgomery Flagg, Charles Dana Gibson, J. C. Leyendecker, Maxfield Parrish, Frederic Remington, Norman Rockwell and N. C. Wyeth. The vast majority of illustrators, however, received little recognition compared to the fine arts painters. This was basically due to their artwork being viewed as more commercially than creatively inspired. Nonetheless, illustrators once played a powerful role in communicating the people's aspirations, concerns, customs, humor, labor and social interests.〔("Historical Note" ). Newark Public Library. Its key source: ''Cover Story: the art of American magazine covers 1900-1950'' by Hiller & Fili, 1996.〕 One of them was Paul Martin, whose work appeared on the covers of ''Collier's'', ''Everybody's'', ''Farm & Fireside'', ''The Farmer's Wife'', ''Liberty'', ''Parents'' and ''People's Home Journal'' from 1923-31. These seven magazines once ranked among the most widely circulated. They all went out of business a long time ago, except for ''Parents''. Their eventual downfall was caused by the changing times (or taste), radio and television (more attractive medium for advertisers) and economics (increased cost/decreased revenue). The more specialized ones that targeted specific audiences, tended to fare better. Another point is that major advancements in photographic equipment and technology took place during the 1930s. This brought about the gradual changeover from illustrated to photographic covers.〔
