Life Magazine Art Deco Showgirls Cartoon
Located in Wilton Manors, FL
Barbara Shermund (1899-1978). Showgirls Cartoon for Life Magazine, 1934. Ink, watercolor and gouache on heavy illustration paper, matting window measures 16.5 x 13 inches; sheet measures 19 x 15 inches; Matting panel measures 20 x 23 inches. Signed lower right. Very good condition with discoloration and toning in margins. Unframed.
Provenance: Ethel Maud Mott Herman, artist (1883-1984), West Orange NJ.
For two decades, she drew almost 600 cartoons for The New Yorker with female characters that commented on life with wit, intelligence and irony.
In the mid-1920s, Harold Ross, the founder of a new magazine called The New Yorker, was looking for cartoonists who could create sardonic, highbrow illustrations accompanied by witty captions that would function as social critiques.
He found that talent in Barbara Shermund.
For about two decades, until the 1940s, Shermund helped Ross and his first art editor, Rea Irvin, realize their vision by contributing almost 600 cartoons and sassy captions with a fresh, feminist voice.
Her cartoons commented on life with wit, intelligence and irony, using female characters who critiqued the patriarchy and celebrated speakeasies, cafes, spunky women and leisure. They spoke directly to flapper women of the era who defied convention with a new sense of political, social and economic independence.
“Shermund’s women spoke their minds about sex, marriage and society; smoked cigarettes and drank; and poked fun at everything in an era when it was not common to see young women doing so,” Caitlin A. McGurk wrote in 2020 for the Art Students League.
In one Shermund cartoon, published in The New Yorker in 1928, two forlorn women sit and chat on couches. “Yeah,” one says, “I guess the best thing to do is to just get married and forget about love.”
“While for many, the idea of a New Yorker cartoon conjures a highbrow, dry non sequitur — often more alienating than familiar — Shermund’s cartoons are the antithesis,” wrote McGurk, who is an associate curator and assistant professor at Ohio State University’s Billy Ireland Cartoon Library & Museum. “They are about human nature, relationships, youth and age.” (McGurk is writing a book about Shermund.
And yet by the 1940s and ’50s, as America’s postwar focus shifted to domestic life, Shermund’s feminist voice and cool critique of society fell out of vogue. Her last cartoon appeared in The New Yorker in 1944, and much of her life and career after that remains unclear. No major newspaper wrote about her death in 1978 — The New York Times was on strike then, along with The Daily News and The New York Post — and her ashes sat in a New Jersey funeral home...

Registered with The Viktor Schreckengost foundation, stock no. 6891
The son of a commercial potter in Sebring, Ohio, Viktor Schreckengost learned the craft of sculpting in clay from his father. In the mid-1920s, he enrolled at the Cleveland School of Art (now the Cleveland Institute of Art, or CIA) to study cartoon making, but after seeing an exhibition at the Cleveland Museum of Art he changed his focus to ceramics. Upon graduation in 1929, he studied ceramics in Vienna, Austria, where he began to build a reputation, not only for his art, but also as a jazz saxophonist. A year later, at the age of 25, he became the youngest faculty member at the CIA. In 1931, Schreckengost won the first of several awards for excellence in ceramics at the Cleveland Museum of Art, and his works were shown at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Art Institute of Chicago, the Panama-Pacific Exposition in San Francisco, and elsewhere.
By the mid-1930s, Schreckengost had begun to pursue his interest in industrial design. For American Limoges...

Philippe Henri Noyer
1917-1985
Philippe Henri Noyer was born on June 28, 1917 in Lyons, France. After a traditional education at the elite Ecole des Roches, Noyer enrolled in the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Lyon. Next he moved to Paris, where he worked in decorative arts and advertising. It was during this time, he discovered his talent for oil painting, officially starting his painting career in 1943.
That same year, Noyer met the famed Parisian art deal, Emmanuel David, who would promote his work and career. Noyer produced many portraits, for which he quickly gained an international reputation, but he also painted dream figures in rural or maritime settings, compositions that were classical in technique but surreal in concept. In 1947, Noyer held his first one-man show at the prestigious Drouant-David Gallery in Paris.
In 1949 the gallery consigned twenty of Noyer’s paintings to an American art dealer who had agreed to organize an exhibition of them in the United States. However the American dealer sold the paintings at cost, in order cover a gambling debt, to Robert Goldstein...

Tales of the Arabian Nights with Flying Carpet - Random House Gustaf Tenggren
By Gustaf Tenggren
Located in Miami, FL
Gustaf Tenggren- Attributed This masterfully designed and graphic interpretation of the Arabian Nights saga features a monumental figural profile while small figures float above on a magic carpet. Gustaf Tenggren (American 1896-1970) Attributed - We are not certain if Tenggren did this work. There is stylistic evidence to support Tenggren. It's the brilliance factor of how he assembles all the elements of the work and composes it into a cogent and readable form. This says Tenggen. As a former New York advertising agency art director, I have seen artists work in different styles. Usually this is not the case but great artist can do it. Their styles can change but the brilliance remains.

The Breton Girl, Mid Century Drawing with Watercolour
Located in Cotignac, FR
A French drawing and watercolour portrait of a Breton Girl by Renée Béja noted pupil of Fernand leger. The work is signed on the right margin and presented in a gilt frame with a fine cut card mount.
A wonderful character portrait of a girl in traditional Breton costume and head dress. Beja has completed a pencil drawing and then used washes, watercolour and gouache to give the composition life. Lifelike flesh tones and the blue of the subjects eyes give the whole a charming intimacy.
Renée Anne Béja was a French painter and theatre decorator of Greek origin born in Thessaloniki (Ottoman Empire, today in Greece) on July 4, 1905
Renée Béja was still a young child when the family moved to Solliès-Pont in France, where her father worked as a flour miller at the Crédit Agricole.
In the 1930s, Renée Béja was a pupil of Fernand Léger. Between 1935 and 1938, she exhibited at the Salon des Tuileries, presenting mainly Views of the Périgord, she also participated in 1938 in the Salon d'Automne and the Salon des Indépendants.
During the Second World War, Renée Béja, her husband and some of her family were saved by being hidden by Eugène Viès, executive of the SNCF in Solliès-Pont, the industrialist Étienne Arnaud and the secretary of the town hall registering them under a false name on the register of inhabitants, so as to entitle them to food tickets. A Gestapo raid, however, meant that the Béja family had to leave Solliès-Pont for Saint-Paul-Trois-Châteaux, always with the help of Eugène Viès and his wife Walda, to whom the Yad Vashem Institute has since awarded the title of Righteous Among the Nations.
Based at 41, rue Blomet in Paris, Renée Béja then also worked as a decorator for the theatre. She created the sets, costumes and masks for the play Les Choéphores by Aeschylus, performed in the great amphitheatre of the Sorbonne in June 1949, then at the Palais des Papes as part of the Avignon Festival in July 1950.
The works of René Béjà, including portraits, nudes, still lifes, landscapes of Provence, Brittany and Paris, were presented at the Salon du Gemmail in Tours, stylistically, as with her colleague Andrée Bordeaux-Le Pecq, post-cubist and abstract experiments, but also classifying it, with Germaine Lacaze, Marguerite Bermond, Geneviève Gavrel and Guillemette Morand...
