About the Item

Magazine story illustration for "After All I've Done" by William M. John for the Ladies' Home Journal, published September 1930, page 36. This story, narrated by Uncle Asy Mulberry, a philosophical old man in Prohibition-era Tumbleweed Valley, Colorado, recounts the tale of Garnet Hamilton. Orphaned at age five, Garnet is taken in by Mrs. Sackett. Mrs. Sackett is a stern, self-righteous woman who constantly bemoans the burden of raising Garnet, overworking her and neglecting her education. Despite these hardships, Garnet blossoms into a beautiful and earnest young woman. One summer, Garnet encounters Bob Montgomery, a "tall, rangy young fellow" from Texas. Bob earns Garnet's admiration when he intervenes after a drunken man insults her. Bob buys a local farm and develops a growing interest in Garnet. Their secret meetings, including a kiss at a church social, are discovered by Mrs. Sackett, who furiously threatens to banish Garnet if she ever sees Bob again. Later, Bob is wrongfully accused of a crime, but Garnet firmly believes in his innocence. The illustrated scene depicts Uncle Asy encountering Garnet on the road. She's determined to elope with Bob, having left Mrs. Sackett's home. Uncle Asy offers her a ride to Bob's place. He describes Garnet as dressed in ill-fitting, old clothes and carrying a makeshift suitcase: "They'd been her mother's clothes, I reckon. She was carryin' an old telescope tied with binder twine." Frank Schoonover shows Garnet dressed in a long black skirt that drags on the ground, a green velvet jacket with large sleeves, and a small black hat adorned with a large red rose pinned on a wire at the front.

"Face Painting" -- Oil Painting by Alexander Stolin
Located in New Orleans, LA
ALEXANDER STOLIN, born and raised in Kiev, Ukraine (under the former Soviet Socialist Republic), where he received intensive training and a master of fine arts degree in his homeland’s traditional art academies. He immigrated to San Francisco in 1992, met his future wife in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, then married and settled in New Orleans. He maintains a home and studio in Madisonville, Louisiana, and is a significant but understated figure in the New Orleans art community. As art critic D. Eric Bookhardt suggested in 2002, “Stolin is more accomplished than he is famous.” His art, often exhibited in thematic series that incorporate a variety of media, ranges from intimate portraits to large-scale murals (one measuring twelve feet by seventy-two feet). He has worked on a progressively larger scale, most recently designing and painting projects for the Louisiana film industry. Stolin’s technically proficient and complexly layered art reflects a unique fusion of the academic training he received in Kiev and his evolving response to the very different culture, lifestyle, and subject matter he has discovered in New Orleans, Madisonville, and the Gulf South.   Stolin’s Face to Face series of portraits, completed from 2000 to 2002, featured New Orleans artists including Douglas Bourgeois...
