A Charming 1920s American Illustration Study Based on the Artwork of Norman Rockwell by Notable Chicago Modern Artist, Walter Burt Adams (Am. 1903-1990). A well executed early figurative work by the artist, depicting a bemusing scene of the artist's mother and brother, as she patiently stands beside him while he dresses unenthusiastically for an impending violin lesson. Artwork size: 24 x 20 inches, oil on canvas, accompanied with the original frame (framed size: 29 1/2 x 23 3/4 inches). Signed "Walter Burt Adams" and dated 1923 lower right. Provenance: Estate of the artist. Walter Burt Adams was a dedicated painter of the American Scene and a singular personality among his peers in the Chicago Modern Art community. His no-nonsense manner, devotion to his craft and sardonic sense of humor characterize a man whose paintings capture life in and around Chicago between the early 1920s and the late 1970s. Born in Kenosha, Wisconsin just after the turn of the last century, Walter Burt Adams spent his childhood in Fargo, North Dakota and began his artistic education there through a correspondence cartooning class as a boy. After finishing high school in Fargo, Adams moved to Chicago in 1922 in order to enroll at the school of the Art Institute of Chicago. Adams’ instruction at the school with artists such as George Oberteuffer, Frederick V. Poole, Charles Wilimovsky...

Original advertisement for Kuppenheimer Clothing, featuring a jockey on a race horse and a well-dressed gentleman in a suit This illustration for Kuppenheimer Clothes appeared in various advertisements and promotional materials in 1926 and 1927, such as the cover of a race-themed Kuppenheimer advertising booklet, as well as the interior page of the Kuppenheimer Spring & Summer 1926 brochure, where the associated caption states: “This double-breasted, with slender hips and broad Curvette shoulders, will be quite the thing with stylish young fellows this spring – especially in the new shades of Ambertone and Silvertone.” A wood-engraving of the image was completed by Jacob Sander for use in newspapers in 1926. Engravings like this were often created to eliminate the difficulties associated with half-tone production on the poor quality newspaper stock. The present work showcases the artist’s ability to capture an idealized vision of male beauty. The rich colors and textures of the fabrics applied with Leyendecker’s signature painterly technique further enhance the appeal of the clothing the picture advertises. In the early spring of 1926, in preparation for upcoming Kuppenheimer advertising projects, J.C. Leyendecker visited the Aqueduct Racetrack horse racing facility in Queens, New York. He was directed to the legendary trainer ‘Dick’ (Herbert John Thompson), who was training the horse named Bubbling Over, who would become the model or the horse pictured...

The 1923 original poster by Roger Broders for the Services Automobiles de la route du Jura promoting Salins-les-Bains et le Fort St André is an exquisite example of early 20th-century travel poster design. Commissioned by the P.L.M. (Paris-Lyon-Méditerranée) railway company, this artwork perfectly reflects the charm of the Jura region while showcasing Broders' mastery of composition, color, and visual storytelling. Roger Broders, one of the most celebrated travel poster artists of the Art Deco era, was renowned for his ability to capture the essence of a destination with elegance and clarity. His posters played a pivotal role in promoting tourism across France during the golden age of travel, often highlighting scenic routes, idyllic landscapes, and picturesque towns. In this particular work, Broders portrays the serene beauty of the Jura region with his characteristic style: clean lines, harmonious compositions, and a rich yet restrained color palette. The poster invites travelers to explore the famous Salins-les-Bains, a historic spa town celebrated for its saltwater springs, and the iconic Fort Saint-André, a stunning hilltop fortress offering panoramic views of the surrounding countryside. The artwork vividly conveys the natural splendor of the Jura, with rolling hills, lush greenery, and soft, sunlit skies. The carefully composed scene features winding roads, inviting travelers to journey through the tranquil region aboard the “Services Automobiles”—a service that complemented the P.L.M. railway network by connecting train passengers to remote and scenic destinations by road. Broders’ attention to detail is unmistakable. His use of warm earth tones and subtle shading creates a sense of depth and atmosphere, drawing the viewer into the landscape. The elegantly stylized typography adds to the poster’s charm, seamlessly integrating the text into the composition without distracting from the artwork itself. This poster is not only a masterpiece of travel advertising but also a reflection of the growing trend of leisure travel in the early 20th century. As rail travel flourished, companies like P.L.M. recognized the need to promote lesser-known but stunning destinations to affluent tourists seeking adventure, relaxation, and scenic beauty. Broders' work became an essential tool in this effort, helping to define the visual language of travel posters for decades to come. The 1923 Services Automobiles poster...

June 1925 McCalls magazine 'To the Girls of St. Agnes Seminary' Neysa Moran McMein – later Mrs. John Baragwanath – wanted, as a girl in Quincy, Illinois, to be a musician. Although she changed her mind and attended the Art Institute of Chicago, she paid her way through school by writing music and playing piano in a ten-cent store. During World War I, she went to France under the auspices of the YMCA, and entertained the troops with her singing and piano accompaniment to showings of Winsor McCay’s animated film “Gertie the Dinosaur”. She painted her first McCall’s magazine cover in 1923, and for many years made pastel portraits of beautiful or notable young women for McCall’s monthly issues, as well as occasional covers for the Woman’s Home Companion, McClure’s, Photoplay, and The Saturday Evening Post.
