Sultana by Henry Clive

Henry Clive (1882–1960) was an Australian-born American graphic artist and illustrator. Clive is known particularly for his illustrations in The American Weekly and cover series, which were posed for by screen celebrities.

Life and works

Clive was born Henry O'Hara in Australia and spent his childhood on a sheep ranch outside Melbourne. In later years Clive moved to Hollywood, acted in silent films and became an art director in Charlie Chaplin's productions where he starred as a villain in City Lights.[1]

Clive's 1925 Art Deco illustration Sultana for the Louis F. Dow Calendar Company was once sold for $22,705.[2] Housed in the Estate of Charles Martignette, in 2010 Sultana was put on sale again at Heritage Auctions.[3] Sultana was reproduced in The Great American Pin-Up by Charles G. Martignette and Louis K. Meisel.
