Rose Freymuth-Frazier Burning Desire oil on canvas 50h x 32w in 127h x 81.28w cm RFF048 Rose Freymuth-Frazier Employing the techniques of the past in the service of contemporary exploration, I seek to add a fresh voice to the sometimes venerable, sometimes dusty and archaic tradition of large-scale figurative painting, while subtly addressing the mythology, objectification and subjugation of women. My subjects are at first glance close to home-new mothers, friends, lovers, artists, dancers-but are then quickly placed at a distance via edgy modification, rigorous technique, minimal contexts and composition, and idiosyncratic use of color. I am also interested in social presentation, artifice, and simulation as they relate to my subjects. I hope to peel away a gossamer thin layer of reality, not just to document the real but also to reveal what might be. BIOGRAPHY Given my restless history, it is curious that I became a figurative painter in New York City. My maternal Grandparents fled Hitler's Germany in the late 1930's. After being refused entry to the United States, they were welcomed into the Dominican Republic, where they happily resided in a small orderly bungalow of their own design and made their living as studio photographer and cheese maker...

This original 1943 World War II poster, designed by Sloan Roberts, was part of the U.S. government’s War Bonds campaign, encouraging American citizens to financially support the war effort. During WWII, War Bonds were a crucial means of raising funds for military operations, and posters like this played a significant role in mobilizing patriotic sentiment across the nation. Roberts’ artwork for this poster is a striking example of wartime propaganda, using bold imagery and compelling text to inspire action. The composition typically features heroic figures—soldiers, civilians, or symbolic American icons—set against a powerful backdrop, reinforcing themes of duty, sacrifice, and national unity. The typography is strong and direct, emphasizing the message: "Buy War Bonds", a rallying cry repeated across numerous government-issued posters during the war. As a wartime artist, Sloan Roberts was known for his ability to evoke emotion and urgency through dynamic compositions and dramatic lighting. His work exemplifies the graphic design style of the era, which combined realistic illustration with bold, patriotic color schemes—often featuring reds, whites, and blues to reinforce national pride. These original 1943 posters were distributed widely across public spaces, factories, schools, and military recruitment centers, serving as a visual reminder of the home front’s responsibility in the war effort. Today, Sloan Roberts’ War Bonds poster is a highly collectible piece of WWII history, valued for its artistic, historical, and patriotic significance. This poster remains an iconic representation of American resilience and unity, making it a prized addition for collectors of vintage military propaganda, WWII memorabilia...

This circa 1915 French wartime propaganda poster is a striking example of World War I-era rationing efforts, emphasizing collective sacrifice and equitable distribution. Designed under the direction of the Comité de Prévoyance et d’Économies, this poster encouraged the French population to ration essential goods, particularly sugar, during the war. At the heart of the artwork is a symbolic sugar loaf, partially cut by a saber, visually reinforcing the message of dividing resources fairly. The text reads: "Avec la carte, nous en aurons peu – mais nous en aurons tous." ("With the ration card, we will have little – but we will all have some.") This message aimed to instill a sense of national solidarity and compliance with rationing policies. The lower inscription, "Casse aujourd’hui ton sucre en deux pour en avoir demain?" ("Break your sugar in half today to have some tomorrow?"), serves as a direct appeal to personal responsibility in wartime resource management. The bold yet simple color scheme (blue, red, black, and beige) gives the poster a striking visual identity, making it both an effective propaganda piece and a historically significant artifact. This rare wartime poster is a powerful reminder of civilian resilience and the role of public cooperation in wartime economies. Due to its historical importance and striking design, it remains highly collectible, particularly among WWI memorabilia...
