Brian Cronin

In my John Wyndham post I wondered at who had done the covers for the 2008 Penguin re-release of five of his books. The most excellent John Self of Asylum let me know that the artist was Dublin-born, New York-based Brian Cronin.







Before knowing who it was, I knew I'd seen that style somewhere before. Once I had the name, I was able to work it out. Cronin also did the covers for Penguin US's special centenary editions of six of Graham Greene's novels...








..as well as the artwork for the now-redone original NYRB editions of Joyce Cary's novels.




He also did the cover for the US hardback of Louis De Bernieres' Bird Without Wings...



..and at least one other cover, that for Real Farm: Encounters With Perception by Patricia Tichenor Westfall, which appears to be a city-couple-tries-to-make-a-go-of-it-in-the-country book.
