Mid Century Modern British 'Listeners' by British German illustrator Kapp, 1959
Located in Petworth, West Sussex
Edmond Xavier Kapp (British, 1890 – 1978)
Listeners
Inkpen
Signed, inscribed and date ‘Listeners / Kapp 59’ (lower left)
7.5/8 x 10.1/2 in. (19.4 x 26.7 cm.)
Edmond Kapp was born in Islington, London, on 5 November 1890, of American and German Jewish parentage. He gave himself the middle initial ‘X’ – sometimes said to stand for Xavier – to distinguish himself from his father Emil Kapp, who was a wine merchant. However, his parents called him ‘Eddie’ while his wife and friends knew him as ‘Peter’.
During his early years, Kapp was continually ill and, while convalescing, entertained himself by drawing at home. As his health improved, he attended Dame Alice Owen’s School, Islington (1903-10), with periods at Berlin University (1909) and L’Institut Français pour les Etrangers, Paris (1909). He then read Languages at Christ’s College, Cambridge (1910-13), though spent most of his time writing and drawing.
Kapp took a studio in London, and worked intensively until the outbreak of the First World War, contributing to the Daily News, the Onlooker and other periodicals. During the war, he served as a 2nd Lieutenant in the Royal Sussex Regiment on the Western Front, and then in Intelligence, rising to the position of Staff Captain on Haig’s Staff. Finally, he founded and directed the Neutral Press Counter-propaganda Section.
In 1919, Kapp returned to London and, after abortive periods at three art schools, worked alone. In that year, he made his name with an exhibition of caricatures, held at Furst’s Gallery, London, and accompanied by a catalogue introduced by Max Beerbohm. This soon led to contracts with three London periodicals and a book of caricatures, Personalities, published by Martin Secker. Through the 1920s and 30s, his drawings of musicians and other personalities appeared in a wide variety of periodicals, most notably Time & Tide; were collected in further volumes; and were exhibited at the Leicester Galleries. He considered himself to be a ‘character-portraitist’, producing images of psychological not satirical power, and disliking the term ‘caricature’.
Between the wars, Kapp developed other aspects of his artistic talents, the desire to study and the search for subject matter often taking him abroad. For instance, work at the British Academy, Rome, under Antonio Sciortino...

Standing Nude, Pastel, Figure, Illustrator for Vanity Fair and the New Yorker
Located in Wiscasset, ME
William Henry Cotton was born in Newport, Rhode Island, in 1880. He studied painting with Joseph DeCamp and Andreas Anderson at the Cowles Art School in Boston, and then at the Académie Julian in Paris with Jean-Paul Laurens. Cotton was a founder of the National Association of Portrait Painters and a member of the Newport Art Association. He exhibited at the National Academy of Design, New York City; the Corcoran Gallery of Art, Washington, DC; the Art Institute of Chicago; the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and the Saint Louis Art Museum. He was among a number of American artists invited by the government of France to exhibit at the Musée du Luxembourg. After a successful career as a portrait painter, Cotton worked for Vanity Fair from 1931 to 1936 as an illustrator. Eleanor Roosevelt called his drawing of her for Vanity Fair, "her favorite character picture." Beginning in 1932, he was an illustrator for the New Yorker. In 1931 the New York Repertory Company produced a comedy Cotton wrote, "The Bride the Sun Shines On." He also painted mural decorations for New York City theaters...
