Girl Reading (1925). Good Housekeeping. Coles Phillips (1880-1927). American illustrator. Librarian?Phillips left plenty to the imagination with his “fade-away girls” where part of the female blended into the background, based on the color or pattern she wore. He had little training (some night classes) yet his talent for watercolor precision, tricks of perception, and detailed craftsmanship, made him a hit with readers of Life, Liberty, Good Housekeeping, and others and advertisers like Holeproof Hosiery, Vitralite Paint, and others. -- source link
