Lucile Blanch
Circus Acrobats - ( Friends with Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo )

1934

About the Item

As they take center stage, four acrobats are depicted, forming an architectural structure composed of contorted human bodies. The small gallery of onlookers displays a variety of expressions. Painted during the peak of the "American Regionalism" movement, the painting gives insight into what was most likely a small itinerant circus. Lucile Blanch completed the painting a year after she received a Guggenheim Foundation Fellowship in 1933 and a few years before she worked with artist Philip Evergood and George Picken in administrating the WPA Project in New York. Signed lower right. Framed size 42 x 32

  • Woman in a Red Dress, Mid Century Female Illustrator/ Artist, Elizabeth Taylor ?
    By Gladys Rockmore Davis
    Located in Miami, FL
    Mid-century female illustrator/artist Gladys Rockmore Davis paints a compelling portrait of a contemplative beauty who looks like Elizabeth Taylor. Frontal and lateral forces work together in this pyramidal composition. The sitter stares down at the viewer creating a frontal tension. Her hypnotic gaze is counterbalanced by the lateral movement of her crossed hands and triggers an emotional response. Gladys Rockmore Davis is both a work-for-hire illustrator and a fine artist- She was an illustrator for clients such as Upjohn, Munsingwear, Elgin Watches, and Johnson & Johnson. Davis had a show at the prestigious Midtown Gallery and Babcock Gallery in New York. She studied at the California School of Fine Arts, Art Institute of Chicago, and Art Students League. William R.
