Charles Sheldon Art
American, 1889-1961
Charles Sheldon was a prolific American illustrator, born in 1889. He created many movie magazine covers featuring Golden Age Hollywood icons. The pastels he created for Photoplay, from 1925–30, included glamorous depictions of Hollywood film stars, like Clara Bow, Mae West, Jean Harlow, Greta Garbo, Gilda Gray, Mary Pickford and numerous other Hollywood enchantresses. Unlike many movie magazine illustrators, who primarily worked off publicity photos, many of these stars sat for him. Along with his work for Photoplay, the artist worked for Screenland, Movie Classic and Radio Digest magazines.

Dibujo a la manera de Velasquez (Drawing in the Manner of Velasquez)
By Fernando Botero
Located in Palm Desert, CA
A drawing by Fernando Botero. "Dibujo a la Manera de Velasquez" is a portrait, charcoal and pastel on cardboard in an earth-tone palette by Latin American artist Fernando Botero. It is signed upper right, "Sobre Velazquez Botero -1-27-60 Para Rita. el recuerdo de uno payaso".
Fernando Botero, best known for his voluptuously rotund human figures, was born in Medellín, Colombia on April 19, 1932. His father died when he was young, and he was raised by his mother, along with his two brothers. He attended a Jesuit school in Medellín and from the age of 12 to 14, he attended a matador training school. The bull fight became a recurring theme in Botero’s early work and while he was in his early teens, he sold his pictures of bull fights in front of the arena.
By the time he was 16 years of age, Botero was working as an illustrator for the local magazine El Colombiano. He also began writing articles about art theory, one of which, entitled Picasso and Non-Conformity in Art, led to his expulsion from the Jesuit school for its endorsement of Cubism. One of Botero’s important early works, Woman Crying...
