Jeremiah and Kenneth Paul Block illustrations at Potterton...

What better mix than the work of one of the greatest twentieth-century interior illustrators and an important fashion illustrator, both in one room?
Potterton has bought together the extraordinary work of Jeremiah Goodman and Kenneth Paul Block in a three-week exhibition. In collaboration with print publisher Dean Rhys Morgan, we are offering the rare chance for people to not only come and see a fantastic selection of their work, but you can buy it too!
Jeremiah's illustrations have been all over the most prestigious magazine titles, from Harper's Bazaar to his 15-year cover-work for Interior Design magazine.
The illustrious list of clients and friends whose rooms he has protrayed includes such icons as Ronald and Nancy Reagan, Sir John Gielgud, Baron and Baroness Philippe de Rothschild, Greta Garbo, Cecil Beaton, Elsa Schiaparelli, Diana Vreeland and Billy Baldwin.
Kenneth Paul Block was one of the foremost fashion illustrators of the twentieth century. For nearly forty years, he was an in-house artist for Fairchild Publications, owner of Women's Wear Daily and its offshoot, W magazine. As chief features artist, he helped transform Women's Wear Daily into the bible of the jet set during the 1960s and 1970s. Babe Paley, Jackie Kennedy, Gloria Vanderbilt, The Duchess of Windsor, and Gloria Guinness were among the society women who posed for him.
Block's incisive yet graceful brushstrokes captured the most important styles of the post-war era, including collections by Norman Norell, Yves Saint Laurent, Pierre Cardin, Coco Chanel, James Galanos, Pauline Trigere, Bill Blass, Halston, and Geoffrey Beene.
The exhibition of these limited edition giclee prints is on until 11th March.
