Henry Clive (October 3, 1883–December 12, 1960) was an Australian-born American graphic artist and illustrator who created illustrations for The American Weekly and cover series, which were posed for by screen celebrities.
Life and works[edit]
Clive was born Henry O'Hara in Australia and spent his childhood on a sheep ranch outside Melbourne. In later years Clive moved to Hollywood, acted in silent films and became an art director in Charlie Chaplin's productions, where he starred as a villain in City Lights.[1] In 1950, Clive married former actress Acquanetta who then returned to acting for several years.[2][3] When she retired from the movies in 1953, she became a disk jockey for radio station KPOL (AM) in Los Angeles.[2]
Clive's 1925 Art Deco illustration Sultana for the Louis F. Dow Calendar Company was once sold for $22,705.[4] Housed in the Estate of Charles Martignette, in 2010 Sultana was put on sale again at Heritage Auctions.[5] Sultana was reproduced in The Great American Pin-Up by Charles G. Martignette and Louis K. Meisel.
