The World's Most Famous Silhouette Artist

Five ways to ace an interview

1. Make sure you are qualified! Show up 10 minutes early, with three resumes printed on good linen paper on hand.

2. Let them talk first.  Listen and answer their questions.  It is your interview too, ask questions such as where do you see your company going in the next five years, do not ask about your vacations, and time-off!

3. Be clean, and dress smart.  You don't have to look wealthy, but please, have clean fingernails (unless your want to be a car mechanic), clean orderly clothes, and washed hair. Sit with your hands on your laps, and don't let them fly around or play with your hair as you speak.

4. Be confident.  Let them know you work hard and are easy to get along with.  People want team players.  Do not talk, politics or religion.  Unless, you are being hired by a political group or a religious group!

5. Thanks them for the interview.  If they like you, they normally have someone else meet you that day, if it is a large office and they tell you when they will be in touch with you again.

It's that easy!  Most important, be confident of your skills, talents, and what you can bring to them, that they need, how you can make their business better, and smarter.  silhouettesbycindi.com

Mirror mirror on the wall, who is the most famous silhouette artist of them all? Kara Walker,Auguste Edouart, Lotte Reiniger, Cindi Harwood, Olly Moss!  This question of who is the most famous silhouette artist living, having lived, easily is Augustin Edouart. He was born in Dunkerque, and left France in 1814, to London, where he began making profiles and front-view portraits with real hair. In 1825 Augustin began cutting full length profiles in silhouette, cutting out black paper with scissors. In those days, scissors were not as developed as they are now, so the skill of the silhouette artist is not by the tools, it is by his/her talent. The paper was made black normally with "soot"and it was easier to cut a profile if one side of the paper was white. In 1829 he arrived in Edinburgh for several years and produced 5,000 silhouettes keeping an extra copy of each, and making notes about the subject he hand-cut on paper. You can see his collection in the National Portrait Gallery, and read more about him on He later moved to the USA, and sadly, lost most of his work in a ship wreck. His silhouettes of several people can fetch $30,000. Modern-day silhouette artist expert, Cindi,is the only silhouette artist who has the vintage French silhouette paper in her possession for higher commissions. She uses her art to donate to charities. silhouettesbycindi.com

Another famous silhouette artist is Olly Moss, does Comic Con silhouettes and is the author of a book. His work sells out in minutes with a long line waiting to buy his cool works. Sadly, other silhouette artists, copy his work claiming it is their "Olly" version, only if asked. Olly,ollymoss.com has modernized silhouette artwork to the movie and comic-con fans, he uses sketches, careful thoughts, and the exacto knife.   Kara Walker's work are also similar in a more modern dialogue than Charles Dickens cut-out artworks.https://dickens.ucsc.edu.resources She has been recognized one of the world's most famous silhouette artists, winning millions of dollars for her raw intersection of gender, sexuality and race, with iconic silhouetted features. She changed the art, however, by not using traditional silhouette paper and creating a theatrical arena in art museums making one realize the "push and pull" of life. Everyone who loves animation, knows Lotte Reiniger used silhouettes to create animation, and Walt Disney was inspired by her for his first cartoons. Rob Ryan is a British visual artist who uses the Papercutting (see Guild of American Papercutters sites) with the exacto blades to do incredible scenes similar to the Polish, German, Swiss arts. While his work is done normally from patterns he drew and cut out, in the folk-art way, it has been featured in Vogue, Elle, and Stylist. You can easily donate to The Guild of Papercutters and read about many paper cutting artists who work in that fashion.

having started drawing as a child painting portraits and cutting Polish and Swiss paper-cuts, it was a natural for Disneyland to see her work and hire her as a teen to be their leading silhouette and portrait artist in both of their USA parks. Beatrix Sherman silhouettes in full figure and bust, are very similar to the works of Auguste Edouart. Although to the eye, the body is not in proportion, it depicts what the clothing were in that era. She lived a flourishing life in Palm Beach, Florida, mingling with the wealthy and traveling for her silhouette bookings. She originated the name, "Silhouettist." She was born Beatrice, and later changed the spelling of her name. Other known silhouette artists are Isabella Beetham, and Marietta Leslie Cotton. silhouettesforsurvivors.org

Concise History of Silhouette Artist and Art for dummies

The History of Silhouette Artists and Silhouette Art History for Dummies by Lizzie Dow What is a master silhouette artist?  A master silhouette artist normally is an artist who did portraits since a child (without lessons) and can translate that into cutting portraits.  Most worked for Disneyland or Disney World and can do the inside cut-outs and groupings together.  None use an overhead projector, or sketch it first, unless it is the entire body. How do you train to do silhouette portraits? If you train, or read a book on how to cut silhouettes, you will end up with generic silhouettes that don't look human, or do not have movement in the hair.  You may not be able to capture the exact details of a face.  The best silhouette artists never trained, they just could draw and one day they took any type of scissors and cut out a good looking profile portrait of someone. Who is the best living silhouette artist? The Guild of Papercutters (GAP) features Cindi Harwood as the premier silhouette artist. She is the current fastest silhouette artist in history as shown in the film "Silhouette Secrets." Kara Walker is the best fine-art living silhouette-style museum artist. When did silhouette art start? Some people will save the cave carvings where the first silhouettes, others say the faces on Greek urns.  In many books, it says a woman used a candle light to trace her boyfriend's shadow around 500 year's ago, and used soot or candle dirt to make the silhouette. This would be a primitive way to do it now, but a fun art craft project Are silhouette artists fine artists?</b> Most silhouette artists who do not sketch, use a light, do them in person, have fine art degrees. Some are better than others. The best silhouette artists have always been hired by Disneyland or DisneyWorld where the standard is higher. The exception is Varin of Sweet Silhouettes who also does intricate works, and couples together. Many good children's silhouette artists in stores can't do groupings, but can cut the beautiful details out. Look for the white lines in the hair and the bows when a silhouette artist comes to your city, don't settle for solid black silhouettes. You can order good silhouettes on-line from Paper Portraits. Is silhouette art passed down for generations? No, that is a sale's pitch. Not every family member is an artist from families. If one mastered silhouettes that does not mean their child can. Often, it can skip generations. Sisters Cindi Harwood and Holly Harwood both worked for the Disney amusement parks cutting silhouettes and also did them at corporate events. Who likes silhouette art? Anyone who appreciates beautiful art, tradition, family heirlooms, cameos, and trendy, yet classic decor love silhouettes. It is a great gift to parents and loved ones, and especially special at weddings and fine affairs. Should silhouettes be large or small? Miniature silhouettes of profiles, are the most desired and of real silhouette paper, not construction paper. It shows the artist was not a teacher who traced a shadow off a wall which is a distortion. They are not artists in most cases so it is never exact. It does not mean you won't treasure it, it just won't have a historic value, unless the subject becomes a celebrity. Some silhouette artists such as Edouart, John Miers, who have passed have silhouettes worth thousands. Peggy McClard art studio and antique dealer sells historic silhouettes. She also thinks highly of Silhouette Artist Cindi Harwood Rose, Kara Walker, Kathryn, and Charles Burns, currently alive. All these artists have mastered the art in a variety of modern styles. Cindi Rose, does an art deco interpretation, putting in four dimensions, including psychic silhouettes and the soul.Kara Walker is in the MOMA and won the Grant award, and is one of the world's finest living artists in all history. Her work is powerful with a message. They are large, but are not actual subjects they are made to compel the viewer to cringe, cry, and feel emotions. In some ways her work is similar to Charles Dickens silhouettes, with a character feel. Is speed important in silhouette art? Yes! The best silhouette artists feel and see, and capture the profile in 2 minutes of a subject with a smooth cut. Slower silhouette artists do cruder work, and the cut of the paper, is not as clean. When was the first real silhouette made and why? Not everyone could afford an oil portrait, and oil paints were hand-made from minerals and plants. A portrait may cost today as much as $100,000 500 year's ago. The artist may spend as much as 6 months painting a subject (as seen in museums, normally of royalty). As in the movie, "Girl with the Pearl", often the artist took advantage of the subject for personal reasons and they feel in love with the minors they painted. With the invention of the scissors, before photography, someone figured how to hand-cut a profile from black paper, they covered with a soot or black paint, made from scratch. This became the "poor man's portrait and was called shades. Later, Auguste Edourt named them silhouettes after a French minister of finance who loved silhouettes whose last name was silhouette. Where do you find a good silhouette artist? You need to compare silhouette artist's work on the internet, to see who can do the most intricate work, and read the reviews (making sure the language on each is different so you know they are authentic). In Europe, for example, they rarely put in eyelashes, and often, elongate the bottom torso, mounting the work with scotch tape. Some artists use vinyl paper so the silhouette itself is not smooth and the cut is a bit cruder, or the children have no details, the hair is the same or does not have many cuts inside it to give it life. I think you should search under the words, former Disneyland or Disneyworld silhouette artists to find the best silhouette artists. Where do silhouette artists work? Silhouette artists work world-wide for corporate events, weddings, private parties, school fundraisers, business holiday parties, and some in amusement parks. You can hire one from GigSalad, in the New York area, who will travel world-wide. In Europe, you can use Chosen Events. In Texas, Colorado, Louisiana,Nevada, Mississippi, silhouettesforsurvivors can find you a silhouette artist. At Orlando's Disney Springs (no cost to go), in the cart near the beautiful crystal shop and Ghirardelli chocolates is a great silhouette artist, Kathryn Flocken, with reduced prices and frames. She also sells a personal penned book about silhouette arts. She has many blogs one is Kathy and Cindi Silhouette Sisters, which is popular in New York City.How much is a silhouette? The price varies as to where you find the artist. At most venues the artists charge about $45 for a right and left view, but the venue must have booked the artist around 40 appointments to secure the artist. Disney Springs in Orlando has the most reasonable silhouettes done by masters anywhere.
