About the Item

Date: 1953 Medium: Oil on Masonite Dimensions: 42.00" x 32.50" Signature: Signed Lower Left Original cover illustration for The Saturday Evening Post, January 31, 1953. The Post described, “Santa Claus recently whispered down a chimney to us that half the fun of Christmas is watching children play with their presents afterward, and that if the presents prove to be educational ho! ho! so much the more fun. We guess Santa tipped off Stevan Dohanos to observe these little ladies blissfully learning how to boil water without forgetting it and melting the pot down into the stove, and other complex principles of homemaking. The only un-educational toys in sight are the dolls for they are sniveling, hollering, raging around the room like maniacs or falling to the stove, as normal children do. And now for the ticklish question: Will the little girls wash those dishes or go find a little boy to do it?” (The Saturday Evening Post, January 31, 1953, p. 3)

  • Abstract American Modernist Oil Painting "Dressing for the Party" by Zoute 1951
    Located in Rochester, NY
    Abstract Modernist oil painting by Zoute dated 1951. Oil on Masonite. I believe the subject in the painting is the artist's wife Thelma Salter. Zoute used himself and his wife almost exclusively as models. Painted in 1951. Unframed. Presented by Joseph Dasta Antiques. Zoute (Born-Leon Salter, 1903-1976) was self-taught and well exhibited during his lifetime. He painted from 1940-1954 (he stopped painting at this later date due to his wife's illness and death and never painted again) A self-taught artist, he was part of the great modern wave. He exhibited with many of the most notable artists of the day such as Picasso, Braque, Klee and others at the invitation only State University of Iowa International Show 1946-1947. He had numerous one man shows at NYC galleries, Mortimer Levitt / Joseph Heller...
