"Fara did not smile or speak. Slowly leaving her place she walked with determined steps to the massive table. The audience leaned forward and held its breath wondering what was about to happen. Moving around the table until she faced the King, she made a deep bow. Then, to the amazement of everyone, she whipped a little dagger from her belt and deftly drew a red streak diagonally across her left forearm. Bending over the long neglected, unsigned vow of vengeance, she took up the stylus, dipped it in her blood, and wrote FARA."

HARVEY T. DUNN (American, 1884-1952)
Reclining Nude, 1939
Oil on canvas
25.5 x 39.5 in.
Signed lower right

This is without a doubt one of the most impressive nudes ever painted by Harvey Dunn, and it was one of Charles Martignette's favorite paintings.

As Mr. Martignette wrote, "In 1941 the Guild Artists Bureau of Manhattan invited all of the famous illustrators to submit a nude fine art painting for a public exhibition to be entitled 'Sexhibition.' The idea was that the American public could visit the show and actually vote on their favorite choices for first place in five different categories. In 1939 Harvey Dunn had painted the best nude of his life. Unlike his previous nudes, which were generally on the small side, this 'Fine Art,' museum-quality painting was an oil on canvas, and very large. Most of Dunn's previous nudes were either immediately sold or given away to friends. This one was Mr. Dunn's favorite which he had decided to keep for himself, so it seemed to be the most appropriate selection for him to submit to the show. When the show concluded, Dunn's sensuous reclining nude had won all five categories as the number one choice of the voting public. This caused so much press and media attention, Time magazine decided to run a feature story about Dunn and his provocative painting in the June 9, 1941 issue, with a great photograph of Harvey Dunn posing in front of his most famous nude oil painting."

According to Charles Martignette, the painting was purchased by a collector shortly after the 1941 exhibit, "by making Dunn an extremely attractive financial offer to facilitate the acquisition. For the next 50 years, Dunn's nude painting was never again seen by the American public."

Mr. Martignette acquired Dunn's famous nude painting in 1995.

Century Magazine Poster Contest Submission, 1896
Gold leaf, pastel, and pencil on paper
24 x 18.25 in.

In August, 1896, Leyendecker received national recognition for his work when he won a Century Magazine poster design competition for this illustration of a young lady carrying flowers in her skirt. The second place winner (out of approximately 700 designs submitted) was Maxfield Parrish. This is perhaps the most important early image by Leyendecker, and indeed this poster can be seen as the major springboard for his long and storied career. This winning design is extremely close in appearance to the final poster art.

PROVENANCE:
Gifted by the artist to Augusta Leyendecker (sister), date unknown;
Gifted by Augusta Leyendecker to artist Orson Lowell (a close friend of the artist), 1952;

Dreaming, preliminary drawing

Not signed

First used as a preliminary drawing for a Collier's story by Bliss Carman, April 8, 1911.

Dreaming was the last picture Parrish painted for House of Art in 1928. After publication, Parrish decided to move his work from illustration to landscape images. This move was made symbolically when Parrish removed the figure from Dreaming. Parrish intended to convert Dreaming into a pure landscape, retitling the work Dreaming/October. The painting was never finished and was discovered after Parrish's death. The model in this picture is Parrish's daughter Jean, and this cut-out image of her from Dreaming is the only remaining actual image (still in existence) from the painting since the original painting's image does not exist anymore.

Esquire Girl calendar pin-up, October 1956
Watercolor and airbrush on board

Signed upper left with Esquire's printer-slug

This image's initial appearance was in Esquire's separately issued "Esquire Girl Calendar for 1956." The phone chatty beauty appeared in a slightly altered form (hairstyle, color, and bathing suit were all changed) as the illustration for October of that year. By 1956, Playboy was firmly on the scene and impacting calendar sales across the country. As a result, the 1956 calendar did not sell well and Petty's involvement with the magazine ceased until almost 20 years later when Esquire published an article, "The Petty Girl at Forty." George Petty officially retired in 1956, although he still did a few commissions from time to time.

HOWARD PYLE (American, 1853-1911)
"'And who's going to support 'em?' demanded Mrs. Barkley", illustration from Old Chester Tales, by Margaret Deland, 1898
Oil on cardboard laid on masonite
17 x 12 in.
Signed lower right

According to a Statement of Provenance, Norman Rockwell purchased this Howard Pyle work from a well-known dealer of American illustration art, Helen Card, in the 1950s, and this wonderful scene remained in Rockwell's collection until his death in 1978.

Rockwell's appreciation of Pyle -- truly the father of American illustration art -- and the profound influence of this most revered master illustrator is illuminated in the Norman Rockwell Museum publication, Off His Walls Selections from the Personal Art Collection of Norman Rockwell. "My hero was Howard Pyle. His pictures always seemed to tell a story. When I looked at one of Pyle's pictures, it was always crammed with detail, each one important to the whole picture and the tale it illustrated." He spoke of Pyle as "an historian with a brush." Such remarks reveal a link between Rockwell and the Golden Age illustrators.

This illustration was reproduced in Howard Pyle: His Life-His Work, by Paul Preston Davis, Delaware, Oak Knoll Press, 2004, vol. 2, p. 448, illustration MBPI0764.

Mixed media on board

Signed lower left

One of America's greatest illustrators, Jessie Willcox Smith attended the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, and studied under Thomas Eakins in Philadelphia, graduating in 1888. A year later, she found work in the production department of the Ladies' Home Journal, for five years. After that, she continued her art education with classes under Howard Pyle, first at Drexel and then at the Brandywine School.

Smith then established her reputation, illustrating stories and articles for Century, Collier's Weekly, Leslie's Weekly, Harper's, McClure's, Scribner's, and the Ladies' Home Journal. Smith was closely associated with the artists Elizabeth Shippen Green and Violet Oakley, who also studied with Pyle, and the group became known as "the Red Rose Girls." Smith's papers are deposited in the collection of the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. From 1918 through 1932, Smith illustrated covers exclusively for Good Housekeeping magazine.

As Jessie Willcox Smith biographer S. Michael Schnessel has aptly observed, "Jessie Willcox Smith was the creator of the ideal child. She pictured a child that was without equal in reality -- innocent, unblemished, never naughty, always perfect. Smith's touching, sensitive portraits of children at play won her the hearts of millions of Americans."

This beautifully charming image exemplifies all that is great about Smith's work.

Instead, his characters are depicted in a skewed and bleak reality, offering a disquieting view, from over a half century ago, of the birth of urban crime."

As Pulitzer prize-winning author Eudora Welty wrote so poetically in her splendid review of Charlotte's Web, " Wilbur is of a sweet nature -- he is a spring pig -- affectionate, responsive to moods of the weather and the song of the crickets, has long eyelashes, is hopeful, partially willing to try anything, brave, subject to faints from bashfulness, is loyal to friends, enjoys a good appetite and a soft bed, and is a little likely to be overwhelmed by the sudden chance for complete freedom. He changes the subject when the conversation gets painful, and a buttermilk bath brings out his beauty. When he was a baby he was a runt, but the sun shone pink through his ears, endearing him to a little girl named Fern. She is his protector, and he is the hero."

"Charlotte A. Cavatica ('but just call me Charlotte') is the heroine, a large gray spider 'about the size of a gumdrop.' She has eight legs and can wave them in friendly greeting. When her friends wake up in the morning she says
'Salutations!' -- in spite of sometimes having been up all night herself, working. She tells Wilbur right away that she drinks blood, and Wilbur on first acquaintance begs her not to say that."
