Henry Clive was an Australian-born artist. He is probably best known for his film poster art of the 1920s and for his magazine cover art of the 1920s through 1950s. His bright color pastels, most often of women, adorned magazines ranging from "American Weekly" to "True Confessions." Born Henry O'Hara, he began his career as a vaudeville magician. As an illusionist he made appearances as early as 1906 in New York and 1909 in Los Angeles. He started acting in the late 1910s and appeared in a number of films. Clive took up painting as early as 1915. After settling in Hollywood in 1928, he found work with Flo Ziegfeld and Charles Chaplin.
