Artist Profile: Lu Kimmel (1905 — 1973)
All of the covers below (and the one above) were painted by the New Jersey-based painter Lu Kimmel. Though I couldn’t find much biographical information of Kimmel, he was apparently active from the 1930s through the 1960s. According to this entry at Fine Art America, he painted over 50 paperback covers. Here’s only a few of them:
Artwork of the Day: Wellville, U.S.A.
Artwork of the Day: The Day Khrushchev Panicked
Artwork of the Day: Killing Castro
Artwork of the Day: Beach Binge
Artwork of the Day: I’ll Never Go There Any More
Artwork of the Day: Vacation Girls
Artwork of the Day: True Confessions
Artist Profile: Tom Miller (1913 — 2004)
I wish there was more that I could tell you about Tom Miller, beyond that he was born in Canada and he was a prolific illustrator in the 50s and 60s. I searched for all the information that I could find online and the main thing I discovered is that there are several talented artists named Tom Miller. I may not have learned much about Tom Miller the pulp illustrator but I was happy to discover the work of Tom Miller, the Arizona sculptor and painter. Also, I enjoyed looking at the work of Ontario’s Tom Miller and the paintings of Baltmore’s Tom Miller.
As for Tom Miller the pulp illustrator, his work will just have to speak for itself.
