One of the great things about visiting NYC is that you never run out of things to see. The Museum of the City of New York is running an exhibit through January 19, 2015 titled Mac Conner: A New York Life. Conner’s illustrations from the late 1940s to the ’60s promoted the likes of Bell Telephone, Ford, United Air Lines, and Hi Ho Crackers. His work graced the pages of Redbook, McCalls, Collier’s, and the Saturday Evening Post. Now 100 years old, Conner’s beautiful acrylic paintings are just as remarkable today as they were back when commercial artists favored illustrations over photography. It’s great to see his talents on display.
