About the Item
Richard Taylor is one of the great Cartoonists. He is celebrated for his dry sense of humor and skill in depicting people in subtle narratives. His instantly recognizable style is expressed with his wide-eyed and heavy, lidded-eyed subjects. The present work, " I think my analysis is beginning to work. I don't hate myself this morning," is a cartoon about and for women in a men's magazine. It is not a traditional run-of-the-mill male chauvinist fantasy cartoon. It makes a sexual and social statement that addresses the emerging Women's Liberation movement of the late 1960s, making it historically important. Then again, it is a cartoon in a sex magazine. The secondary joke/ punchline is the guy's reaction. While the girl has a liberating epiphany, joyfully thrusting both arms in the air - the guy, oblivious to her moment, is transfixed on her ample bust. An overlooked aspect of Taylor's work is that he is a hands-down brilliant technical artist. His skills in composition, design and rendering figures matches his concepts. After the joke's punch line delivers a brief chuckle, the joy continues by simply admiring the beauty of his drawing.
Signed upper left. R. Taylor. The work is elegantly framed under glass to a dimension of 21 x 17. Provenance: Playboy Archives

Richard Taylor
Richard Taylor creates in his Milwaukee Riverwest studio. His artwork is both 2- and 3-dimensional, ranging from site-specific outdoor sculpture to paintings on canvas, to the fusion of painting and sculpture. He shows in galleries across the country, and has completed dozens of commissions for corporations, hospitals and municipalities nationwide. Influences on his work include music, poetry, and urban existence. Source material varies from postage stamps, found objects and signage to alphabets, numbers and literature. He plays the saxophone and is very influenced by both jazz and classical music. He served as the artist-in-residence for Quad/Graphics, a national printer, for eleven years, painting huge murals and creating site-specific sculptures. He has taught part-time at the Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design, and continues to be an avid student of Art History. Travel to cultural destinations and time spent living in San Diego serve as influences on his work, as does the agricultural landscape of his native Wisconsin.

View AllPondering being Naked - Sexy Girl taking off Bikini - Female Cartoonist
Located in Miami, FL
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. Original Matte and not framed - Barbara Shermund...

Playboy cartoon Illustration, "For Posing, My Terms Are a Dollar an Hour, Room
By Richard Taylor
Located in Miami, FL
Put aside Richard Taylor's dry wit. Look at his masterfully rendered figures and brilliantly constructed compositions based on a two-point perspective. Clearly, he is an underrated and overlooked talent in the class of Charles Addams. Above all, Taylor, with his heavely-lidded-eyed figure, has a style of his own. An artist who has an instantly recognized style - unique to him/her is a rarity in today's artworld of derivative artists.

Artist Painting Nude Women in Artist Studio - Perhaps Playboy Cartoon

"Harry has no interest in mundane pleasures." Enter the mind of a mid-century American/ Canadian Artist. The theme of Artist and Model has been used for centuries but Richard Taylor ( R. Taylor ) clearly has his own humorous style. The Taylor girl is easily recognizable with oversized heavy-lidded oval eyes and curvaceous body shapes. Taylor is in the Charles Addams...
