Harry Beckhoff (1901–1979) was an American illustrator.
Work
From the late 1920s to the early 1960s Beckhoff did illustrations for numerous books and magazines, most notably Collier’s.[1]
Style and influence
Although he studied with Dean Cornwell and Harvey Dunn, he didn't pursue the style of painterly brushstrokes and impastos. Instead, he defined his forms with flat shapes, whose internal forms are defined by thin lines. The emphasis is more on silhouette and line than it is on texture and lighting.[2]
