George Benjamin LuksPortrait of a Slum Boy Ashcan Schoolcirca 1900 - 1920
circa 1900 - 1920
About the Item
Signed upper right
Private Collection
Luks was famous for painting people from impoverished slum areas.
The work was most likely painted from life and portrays a youth haphazardly dressed. Luks describes the subject in quick rapid-fire brush strokes in the post-impressionist style.
On a recent trip to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, I snapped this photo of a George Luks currently hanging. It's George Luks " The Old Duchess" who was a woman of depraved rank.
The condition is very good. There is a heavy layer of dammar varnish covering the work and yellowing it. When clean colors should sing. Scattered craquelure.

- Woman in a Red Dress, Mid Century Female Illustrator/ Artist, Elizabeth Taylor ?By Gladys Rockmore DavisLocated in Miami, FLMid-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.
