Around the World in 80 Watercolors by Clarence P. Hornung

About the Book

A good painting is poetry for the eyes and Clarence P. Hornung serves up a feast for ocular enjoyment.

Mr. Hornung was a preeminent respected graphic artist and author. His career legacy is well-documented. He has authored well over 40 books in the field of graphic arts, antique collectibles, transportation, font design, as well as Americana history.

His design work for corporate clients included logos, advertising, assisted product design and marketing for well-known companies. Coca-Cola, Arrow Shirt, Longines, Seagrams, Encyclopedia Britannica, Quaker Oats, Disney, General Motors, and Atlantic Richfield are just a partial listing of some of the companies who commissioned his talent. While his recognized commercial talent and books have been applauded, his watercolors are less well-known.

To relax and fulfill his other artistic inspiration, Mr. Hornung would travel and paint. These watercolors were initially intended for family and friends. 50 years ago he decided to collect 80 watercolors and display them in two art shows titled, “Around the World in 80 Watercolors.”

This book compiled by his grandson attempts to re-create those shows as well as categorize, organize and include newer watercolors in addition to explaining his creative process and further document his creative talent and love of travel.
