Billed as “The Handsomest Magazine in the World” when it debuted in September 1919. A pioneering fan magazine (The Motion Picture Magazine / Motion Picture Classic) publisher Eugene V. Brewster was an arts enthusiast and creative soul himself. His keen eye for all things beautiful, connections to early filmmakers, writing and editorial skills, and business acumen, made SHADOWLAND possible.
SHADOWLAND’s Art Director A.M. Hopfmuller painted the stunning Art Deco watercolours on the covers of SHADOWLAND each month. Hopfmuller also served as art director for Motion Picture Classic and The Motion Picture Magazine. He was named the Art Editor of Harper’s Bazaar in 1927, but beyond that, little information is available about this elusive artist. (50plusworld.com)
