The Golden Age of Illustration plays a big role in inspiring Amy in pursuing a career in illustration. The Golden Age of Illustration was a period known for unparalleled excellence in book and magazine illustration that has never been seen before. It was during this time when a big demand for new graphic art was made by the public, and with the help of advances in technology, accurate and low-cost reproduction of art was made possible.
In the region of Europe, the Golden Age period was enormously influenced by design-oriented actions belonging to the Arts and Crafts Movement, Art Novuveau, Les Nabis, and by the Pre-Raphaelites. The key names connected with designers that came up within this period were Walter Crane, Edmund Dulac, Arthur Rackham, Aubrey Beardsley and Kay Nielsen.
When it comes to the American illustration, the Golden Age was lead by Howard Pyle and continued by his students N.C. Wyeth Maxfield Parrish, Edwin Austin Abbey and Frank Schoonover.
The changes and improvements in this period as far as graphic design and illustrations are concerned greatly impacted on Amy’s view on the craft and it translates to how she does her works.
