Schoolgirls - Ink and Watercolor Drawing - 1940 ca.

1940 ca.

About the Item

Schoolgirls is a beautiful watercolored ink drawing of the first half of the 20th century, around 1940. The drawing shows an inscription in pencil on the lower right that is hard to decipher. It is probably the signature and the title in French, though unreadable. The state of preservation is somewhat good: the paper has some longitudinal folds and presents numerous pinholes on the four corners and on the higher and lower margins. The higher right and left corners are torn, though in a minimal part. The piece of paper was probably torn from a sketchbook, because its left margin presents some fringes. The paper is glued on the corners on a piece of blue paper of almost same dimensions. This is a very interesting drawing, representing a series of young girls seated at some desks and whilst attending a class. Very graceful portraits with spontaneous facial expressions that recall a drawing from real life.

  • “Dime a Dance” American Art Deco 20th Century Modernism Pin-Up Social Realism
    Located in New York, NY
    “Dime a Dance” American Art Deco 20th Century Modernism Pin-Up Social Realism Arthur Rosenman Ross (1913 - 1981) “Dime a Dance”, 1933 Watercolor and Ink on Illustration Board 18” x 10 1/2 inches (sight) Signed Arthur Rosenman, ‘33 L/R 29 1/2”H x 25 1/2 inches ( Framed) Provenance: Estate of the artist. The Drawing is in very good condition. The period frame is solid, but could use some restoration. BIO Arthur Rosenman Ross was a key figure in automotive design at General Motors during America's "Golden Age" of auto design, the 1930's through the 1950s. He attended the Art Institute of Chicago from age 17, exhibiting a special interest for automotive renderings and the female figure. In 1934, he changed his name from Rosenman to Ross, fearing his Jewish ancestry could prejudice his career prospects. At age 20, he turned down job offers from MGM Studios in Hollywood and Duesenberg to work at General Motors alongside the Legendary Harley Earl in 1935. He was hand picked by Mr. Earl and assigned to GM's War and Camouflage Division in 1937 through WW2. It was during this pivotal period in which he executed some extraordinary military aircraft artworks, likely used between GM and America's military aeronautics companies in design preparation for WW2. General Motors played an important role in helping America's aircraft manufacturers preceding and during the war. Just after the war in 1945, Mr. Ross was rewarded by GM, being made Chief Designer of Cadillac, then two years later becoming Chief at Oldsmobile until his retirement in 1959. He was in large part responsible for some of GM's classic Cadillac designs such as the Cadillac Sixty Special, Fleetwood, LaSalle and GM's first concept car, the extraordinary Buick Y-Job. Mr. Ross was an exceptionally charismatic and vivacious man who quite by chance, befriended His idol, Salvador Dali at GM in 1955. They talked about art, cars and girls late into the evening, according to his son, Carter Ross. He had a gift in rendering the erotic arts...
