was appointed a Lieutenant Commander, United States Naval Reserve, during
World War II and contributed many posters, illustrations and officer portraits
for the Navy before being reported missing in action, in the Pacific theatre,
aboard an L. S. T. which was torpedoed.<BR>
<BR>
Before the war, Barclay was most noted for his ability to paint strikingly
beautiful women, boldly colored and outlined, best exemplified by his
series for General Motors illustrating the slogan, "Body by Fisher," and
on numerous magazine covers, such as The Saturday Evening Post, and Pictorial
Review.<BR>
<BR>
Born in St. Louis, Missouri, Barclay was a student of H. C. Ives, George
Bridgman and Thomas Fogarty. He was a member of the Artists Guild, the
Art Students League of New York and the Society of Illustrators.<BR>
<BR>
From the time he married in 1930 onward, he produced numerous sculptures
often festooned with animals. These were then manufactured out of metal
in a wide variety of utilitarian and decorative household objects, such
as bowls, boxes, trays, pins, bookends and wall hangings by the McClelland
Barclay Art Company.<BR>
<BR>
In 1944 Barclay was awarded the Art Directors Club Medal posthumously,
"in recognition of his long and distinguished record in editorial illustration
and advertising art and in honor of his devotion and meritorious service
to his country as a commissioned officer of the United States Navy."<BR>
