René Bull (1872-1942) is considered among the artists associated with what has been termed the Golden Age
of
Illustration.
The René Bull Collection at Spirit of the Ages
includes art images from some of Bull's seminal work. As a valuable
reference resource, options are also provided
for purchasing a range of gifts, including reproduction prints, posters and
greeting cards.
Born in Dublin, Bull embarked on what was to be a varied
artistic career after meeting
the French satirist and political
cartoonist Caran
d'Ache (the pseudonym of Emmanuel Poiré) in Paris.
Bull contributed sketches and political cartoons to a
variety of publications throughout his career and developed further
artistic
influences following his travels to the Middle East. That personal experience allowed Bull to incorporate expert
detail into those illustrations with Oriental
themes and like Edmund Dulac and Warwick Goble, he incorporated those
influences
in suites of illustrations for illustrated books.
