Bradshaw Crandell
(June 14, 1896 – January 25, 1966) was an American
artist
and illustrator. He was known as the "artist of the stars". Among those who posed for Crandell were
Carol Lombard
,
Bette Davis
,
Judy Garland
,
Veronica Lake
and
Lana Turner
. In 1921 he began his career with an ad for Lorraine hair nets sold exclusively by
F. W. Woolworth
. His first cover illustration was the May 28, 1921 issue for the humor magazine
Judge
. In later life he went from illustrations to oil-on-canvas paintings which included political figures. He also provided poster work for
20th Century Fox
. In 2006 he was inducted into the
Society of Illustrators
hall of fame. In March 2010, an illustration for the 1952
Dutch Treat Club
yearbook of Crandell's sold for ,000. Crandall's career took off in 1921 with a contract for the cover of
Judge
Magazine. Although he began his business as John Bradshaw Crandell Studios in 1925, he dropped his first name by 1935. He was known as a "glamour" artist and not necessarily a "pin-up" artist; however, he did have rather risque work, such as the two nude water nymphs and a nude cover for the Dutch Treat Club. In the 1950s, Crandall moved from illustrations to oil and portraits.
