George Stavrinos was born in Somerville, Massachusetts, in 1948. Despite a strict upbringing, his parents approved of his career choice, and he studied graphics at the Rhode Island School of Design. Moving to New York City in 1973, George eventually presented his portfolio to prestigious Push Pin Studios where co-founders Seymour Chwast and Milton Glaser recognized his talent and offered him a staff position. Though Stavrinos chose only to be represented by Push Pin, it expanded his client list to include New York Magazine, Bonwit Teller, Psychology Today, Pan Am, Columbia Records, CIBAGeigy, Capezio, Viva, Oui, andGentlemen’s Quarterly. In 1977, George began producing fashion illustrations for Barney’s. In conjunction with an outside ad agency, George’s work quickly became the face of Barney’s new, chic, upscale look.
Actually his work can know that like use the pencil to draw and also his work mostly became black. And his fashion illustration always let me the feeling of comfort, because the clothes in the picture, it just like the true can know the clothes material. I think he was better to draw the folds of clothes, and let me want to touch the clothes. He just used the three color black, white and grey can really accurate expression stereoscopic effect, spatial distance. Actually his work did not have so many things, but his picture showing always give us delicate beauty. Sometime simple detail will change all. So I think the details determine success or failure.
But the one of sad thing is his life was cut short by the AIDs epidemic that swept through an entire generation. The New York Times described his major accomplishments as having helped revive an interest in finely drawn representational art. Actually I really appreciate his illustration style, used pencil to draw one perfect work need spend much time and patience, so how difficult thing if have patience and insist, the success is not far away.
