1928
About the Item
In most of Nora's work, she combines realism and fantasy. Here, the viewer's position is the back of a theater. In front, there are four raised hands, cheering a monumental image of a sleeping wrapped infant resting on a crescent moon and surrounded by two stars. The infant is floating above the seats and centered in the middle theater curtain that has opened to a celestial sky. The image is quite stunning and may be influenced by Surrealist trends of the unconscious mind that were taking place in Europe. In the early '20s, she lived in Paris and was included in the prestigious Salon d’Automne.
This work was done in 1928 when where was back in New York and reflects the trends of Art Deco and Surrealism that she was exposed to.

- Midnight Madness - Witches on Night FlightLocated in Miami, FLPioneering female illustrator Gwenda Morgan creates an exuberantly complex image of a squad of broom-riding - pointed-hatted witches with black cats in tow. They fly through an inky black moonlit sky and are witnessed by only a rooftop owl. With the simple means of black and white, Morgan has rendered a highly charged composition that pluses with electricity. The whole image is on the cusp of being abstract while being representational. It is brilliantly designed with great attention to detail and is evocative of a sorcerer's malignant powers. Unframed. not signed Printed from the original block as part of the suite of 8 prints that accompanied the limited edition book Diary of a Land Girl, Whittington Press, 2000.
