About the Item

Signature: Signed and Dated Lower Right
Cover of American Boy Weekly Magazine, 1927 of a Striding Drum Major
Edgar Franklin Wittmack was one of the top magazine cover illustrators during the 1920's-1940's, whose resume would include twenty-two Saturday Evening Post covers during that time period. Additionally, he would be a longstanding cover contributor to bothThe Popular Science Monthly and Nation's Business, as well as the trade publications Motor Magazine and Cities Service. Wittmack's versatility (he was adept at many disparate subjects) also enabled him to enjoy a very successful career in advertising art as well. Item:Painting used as the cover illustration for the October 1927 issue of American Boy. The colorful image features a drum major proudly marching on the football field following a game, with the victorious team and jubilant crowd pictured in the background. Wittmack obviously liked this particular image and, as any good artist or writer would do, he kept it in the back of his mind, recalling it some seven years later when he was commissioned to do a similar work for the Saturday Evening Post.

Entering the Living Room

A very striking and expressive work in terms of color! This has a contemporary and upbeat feel and attractiveness to the abstracted female form coming into a room. Would brighten and bring any room into the contemporary realm and bring a very fresh dash of vivid color.
Ralph Della-Volpe was a noted Post - War artist who started out with the Abstract Expressionists and then like Milton Avery and Wolf Kahn and others - chose to revert back to bringing some representational form back into his work. Color was his driving passion and he often used high keyed...

In the middle of the road

Dana Frankfort
In the middle of the road, 2017
oil on canvas over panel
48 x 48 x 1.75 inches
For over two decades, Dana Frankfort has explored the vexing periphery between language and sight by painting words. Rather than laying claim to the paintings, controlling their semiotic pulse, her words serve as the formal armature; they prop up, ventilate, and allow the many layers of paint to breathe. Imperatives, allusions, evocations—the words dissolve into a palimpsest of obscured serifs and stems, into color and form.
The title of the work is a phrase from a poem by Carlos Drummond de
Andrade’s “In the Middle of Road.” Here it is, translated from the Portuguese by Elizabeth Bishop...
