Talk:John Alan Maxwell

Untitled
EAST TENNESSEE STATE UNIVERSITY'S SHERROD LIBRARY

Works by John Alan Maxwell (1904-1984) are hung in the library reference room (first floor) and on the third floor of the library. John Alan Maxwell was primarily known for his historical paintings. However, his illustration for magazines, adult and children's book jackets were equally notable and widely published both internationally and nationally. Some authors even stipulated in their contracts that only Maxwell could illustrate their book covers. He returned to Johnson City, where he had lived as a child, in 1960. He spent his remaining years doing book work and various other works on commission. He taught regular art classes at ETSU and for the Johnson City Board of Parks and Recreation. At the time of his death in 1984, he was still working on dustjacket illustrations for two of Allen Eckert's novels, according to an email interview with the author. The works were donated by Mrs. Elizabeth Smedberg. in 2000. Maxwell studied at the Corcoran School of Art, Washington DC, the Washington School of Art, Washington DC, and the Art Students' League, New York, NY.
