EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration showcases Harbutt's Plasticine, the premier modelling material of its time, as advertised in the December 32 volume of a magazine published in Bath, England, circa 1921. The image features a pipe-smoking gentleman in a thoughtful pose, intently observing a meticulously crafted sculpture before him. With a palette of ten vibrant colors at his disposal – red, blue, green, yellow, black, brown, white, grey, pink, and violet – the artist brings his creations to life with an unparalleled level of detail and realism. Harbutt's Plasticine, a pioneering product in the world of modelling materials, was renowned for its versatility and durability. Its unique texture allowed artists and hobbyists to shape and mold their designs with ease, resulting in intricate and lifelike sculptures. This advertisement, with its elegant design and enticing promise, spoke directly to the creative spirit of the era, inviting individuals to explore their artistic potential and unleash their imaginations. The pipe-smoking gentleman, a symbol of refinement and contemplation, embodies the dedication and focus required to bring a Plasticine sculpture to fruition. His presence in the illustration underscores the transformative power of the material, inspiring artists and collectors alike to create works of art that would captivate and delight for generations to come.
