This work clearly has homosexual overtones which in the mid-'40s was as daring as showing nudity. I am not sure if this was the artist's intention but the salesgirl and the model look identical and she signs it twice Shermond. Added to this is a strobe light effect where the model's image is partly replicated giving the impression of 2 figures. She's lost in thought pondering the notion of removing the bows and seeing the consequences. Meanwhile, the sales girls ( perhaps her alta ego - perhaps an admirer ) eggs her on. Caption: "You can always remove the bows if you think they're too fussy." Cover cartoon for unknown publication - Signed "Shermund" twice in the lower right image, dated on verso, and captioned in graphite in the lower margin.

This listing includes two works by Shinsuke Notomi: a book and print. The book was produced in a limited edition as part of Shinsuke Notomi’s 1982 exhibit “Light”. In 1979 Notomi traveled to Nepal and Himalayas, did drawings for the "Light" series of lithographs which were published in Paris in 1982 and exhibited at the Cartia Granoff Gallery, Paris, and then in 1984 at the Laforet Museum Akasaka, Tokyo. Reminiscent of Jasper Johns' Target with Plaster Casts, the Shinsuke Notomi lithograph depicts concentric circles and checked rectangles with small points of white throughout. Watercolor-like shading gives this work a fluid spontaneity. Shinsuke Notomi was born in Shanghai in 1942. He came to the United States in 1962, studied at the Art Student League in New York, and then earned a BA and a Master of Fine Arts (MFA) at the California College of Arts & Crafts in San Francisco. He taught art at Indiana State University from 1972 to 1974, and then traveled to Peru and Bolivia to study Inca art...
