JOSEPH CHRISTIAN LEYENDECKER (1874-1951)
Saturday Evening Post cover, November 24, 1928
Oil on canvas
28.5in. x 20.5in. (sight size)
Initialed lower left: JCL
As Michael Schau noted in
J.C. Leyendecker
, "Leyendecker painted his first
Saturday Evening Post
cover in 1899 and he continued to work for the magazine until 1943, creating 322 covers for
The Post
. The reputation gained as a result of his magazine covers established Leyendecker as one of America's most popular illustrators." This painting is reproduced on page 142 of Michael Schau's book. Leyendecker was elected to the Society of Illustrators' Hall of Fame in 1977.
This sensational painting shows America's evolution over three centuries of Thanksgiving holidays. From the accomplishments of the stern, pioneering, and freedom-fighting colonists of 1628, to the entertainments provided by the battered, yet playful grid-iron stalwarts of 1928, this blessed country has plenty to celebrate each November. Both figures regard each other as they are each given a heroic and monumental presence by Leyendecker. His vigorous and energetic brushwork bathes the figures in a sparkling light, creating a noble vision of pure Americana.

Couse
Provenance:
Dorothy and William Harmsen, Sr. (Denver, Colorado)
Literature:
Couse family Archives;
Ellen Landis,
Eanger Irving Couse: Image Maker for America
(Albuquerque, New Mexico: Albuquerque Museum Foundation, 1991) p. 19;
Nicholas Woloshuk,
E. Irving Couse 1866-1926
(Santa Fe, New Mexico: Santa Fe Village Art Museum, 1976), illus. p. 37
Couse was born and raised in the logging town of Saganaw, Michigan, where as a youngster he drew the Chippewa Indians who lived nearby. While still a teenager he attended the Art Institute of Chicago and the National Academy of Design in New York. At the age of twenty he traveled to France, where he studied at the Académie Julien under William Adolphe Bouguereau and Tony Robert-Fleury. Couse remained in France for nearly a decade, and specialized in painting landscapes and peasant subjects. In 1889, he married fellow art student Virginia Walker, a rancher's daughter from the state of Washington. In 1891 they settled for a year at the Walker family's ranch in Klikitat County. While living there Couse produced his first oil paintings of Native Americans.
In 1898, Couse established a winter studio in New York, and spent the next few summers away from the city, painting in Washington, Connecticut and France. In May 1902, Couse learned of Taos, New Mexico through a conversation with his artist friend Ernest Blumenschein. Shortly thereafter he traveled to Taos for the first of his regular summer stays. In 1910 he purchased an old Spanish monastery, which he converted into a studio and home. Five years later, when the Taos Society of Artists was formed, Couse was elected its first President. In 1928, he and his family gave up their New York home and settled permanently in Taos.

Inscribed on reverse:
Corpus Cristi Sunday in Taos by Bert Phillips
Provenance:
Mark Sublette, Medicine Man Gallery (Santa Fe, New Mexico);
Ex Harmsen Collection, Denver Art Museum (Denver, Colorado)
Born in Hudson, New York, Bert Phillips began his artistic career at age fifteen studying at the Art Students League and the National Academy of Design. He continued his training in Paris at Académie Julian, where he met artists Joseph Henry Sharp and Ernest Blumenschein, who would become life-long friends. Phillips is considered the founder of the Taos art colony and was deeply involved in promoting the town and pueblo to other artists. He adopted a modern approach by painting Taos Pueblo Indians in a vibrantly colored, realistic style that conveyed the romantic notions he felt about the culture.
Considered one the top ten paintings by Phillips,
Corpus Christi Sunday in Taos
captures over forty worshippers in their Sunday best during the celebration of Corpus Christi. A traditional Catholic festival observed on the Thursday following Trinity Sunday, Corpus Christi commemorates the Christian Eucharist, in which the wine and wafer are symbolically transformed into the body and blood of Christ. The painting is in pristine condition and is accompanied by a letter of authenticity.

Signed and dated lower right: Vargas, 1953
Feast your eyes on this sensational package! Here she is --
American Fantasy
, the
very first
Vargas girl ever to appear in the pages of
Playboy
, and as the saying goes, you never forget your first time! The March, 1957 issue of
Playboy
featured Jon Campbell's ground-breaking pictorial, "The Vargas Girl." The spread opened with a large reproduction of
American Fantasy
, and it was a delicious taste of the "cheesecake" yet to come; reader response was so enthusiastic that starting with its September, 1960 issue,
Playboy
commissioned Vargas to produce a masterwork for each issue. Quoting from Campbell's paean, "The Forties belonged to Vargas and his Vargas Girl -- and we'll concede the Fifties too, if pressed. The Vargas Girl possesses something more than the sum of her perky parts; she is Anatomical Perfection, put together in a way certain to set the most unfeeling amongst us aquiver and amumbling in our Martinis." Indeed,
Playboy
had officially appointed Vargas its "High Priest of Va-Va-Voom."
The sensual, tactile qualities of the airbrush painting technique were showcased at their most perfect in
American Fantasy
. Pure color was applied as a fine mist, and the hues were carefully built up, even as forms were delicately modeled. The see-through, sheer fabric of the
American Fantasy's
negligee made her especially sultry and glamorous, in a most teasing manner, and her auburn hair glowed invitingly with its lustrous sheen. As Ray Bradbury noted in
The Art of Playboy
, for the U.S. male, Alberto Vargas often ran fevers with his selection of bonbons and midnight truffles. Ray quipped, "I don't know if this is what G.I. Joe was fighting for, but -- forgive me, ladies -- it was better than ap
