STANLEY KIMLEY "JOSEPHINE BAKER" WATERCOLOR, SIGNED AMERICAN, C.1950 26.5 X 17.25 INCHES Stanley Klimley 1915-2001 Stanley Peter Klimley was a prominent magazine illustrator in the 1940s and 1950s working in New York City and well known for his romantic and poignant family illustrations in national magazines. His work appeared regularly in magazines such as McCall’s, Good Housekeeping, Cosmopolitan, Ladies Home Journal, Woman’s Home Companion, Colliers Readers Digest.

Returning to the US in 1955, Stan worked as freelance artist and illustrator for a number of nationally known brands including Frigidaire, Avon, and Longine’s Wittnauer...
