John Archibald Austen (1886 - 1948) was an english illustrator greatly influenced by the styles of Art Nouveau (particularly Aubrey Beardsley), who's intent was to produce the delicate lines, flowing forms and striking solid shapes, traditional to Japanese woodcuts. Some of Austen’s early works include illustrations for an edition of Shakespeare’s Hamlet (1922) that utilised much of this aesthetic.
Austen used several techniques in his illustrations, including wood-engraving and scraper board.
He was also involved in graphic design, producing adverts, several posters & numerous dust wrapper designs, often being able to adapt his otherwise heavily stylised works to suit the commercial or literary contents of his clients.
