Drawing, Painting and Sculpture by Michael Gillen, Henry Kallen and Herbert Kallen was another book from the 1950s that promised to teach you the basics of how to draw, paint and sculpt at home in your spare time. The authors succeed in 95 pages and three chapters, Drawing by Michael Gillen, Painting by Henry Kallen and Sculpture by Herbert Kallen.
In publishing and promoting the book they sought to capitalize on the post-war optimism and desire to improve one's skills and make a better life with ads like this one.
