The Giants of 20th Century – Mats Gustafson and Kareem Iliya



Mats Gustafson was born in Sweden but lives and works in New York now. He began his career as an illustrator before he graduated from the Scandinavian Drama Institute. In 1978 he finished his first international commission for the British Vogue. Mats Gustafson has published his illustrations in the magazine Harper’s Bazaar, The New York Times, Visionaire, Vogue French, Vogue Italia and Vogue Japanese.
Mats Gustafson likes to show the idea of fashion through simplicity and abstraction using water color or ink which are both water-based media.

Kareem Iliya started his illustration drawings when he works as a fashion designer. Iliya uses the same tool of painting as Mats Gustafson but his illustrations are more colorful and the final effect on the paper is bursting and radiating. Borrelli (2000) calls his illustrations “ethereal and mystical”.

Next, I will show you the timeline of these two illustrators.
