About the Item

This vibrant mid-century illustration by Lawrence Gordon Low, painted directly from life, was submitted to a magazine cover contest sponsored by the paint company Devoe and Raynolds, a detail noted on the stretcher. The artwork features a young woman, reminiscent of Low's celebrated pin-up style, adorned in a wide-brimmed red hat and a floral print dress. Set against a cheerful pale yellow background, she delicately wields a pair of scissors and a gardening glove, hinting at her recent foray into her garden, where she has undoubtedly just gathered the beautiful bouquet of purple and white lilacs she now clutches. Presented framed and ready to hang, this is a unique opportunity to acquire a large original canvas by an artist rarely encountered in the market. Artwork Dimensions: 36" x 28" Framed Dimensions: 42.5" x 35.5" Medium: Oil on canvas Signature: Signed Lower Left

By Billy Devorss

This striking original poster displays a graceful model wearing a vibrant red sun hat against a light blue background. This is truly a lovely piece! Billy DeVorss (1908 – 1985) was a self-taught illustration artist who started his commercial career in 1933. He was well known throughout his career for the voluptuous figures and attractive faces of his images. This poster is one of those great pin-up style images created by DeVorss. Alone among the pin-up artists in being entirely self-taught, Billy De Vorss sold his first three published pin-ups to the Louis F. Dow Calendar Company in St. Paul in about 1933. Until that time, he had been working as a teller in a bank in St. Joseph, Missouri. There, he met the stunning woman Glenna, who became his wife and first official model.
