Balmain's Mermaid, A Night in Paris

By Gleb Derujinsky

Located in New York, NY

Balmain's Mermaid, A Night in Paris 1957 Archival pigment print Estate stamped, signed and numbered by Andrea Derujinsky with certificate of authenticity Groundbreaking fashion photographer Gleb Derujinsky invigorated the fashion industry with his glamorous, exotic, and often unconventional photographs. Gleb Derujinsky's career as a fashion photographer took hold in the golden age of European haute couture, when Balenciaga and Pierre Balmain were at the top of their game and Yves Saint Laurent and Karl Lagerfeld were designing their first runway shows. Although air travel was still reserved for the happy few, Derujinsky convinced his editors Carmel Snow and Diana Vreeland to send him around the world to photograph beautiful models like Carmen Dell Orefice and his future wife, Ruth Neumann draped in expensive gowns juxtaposed against rough desert dunes or a glittering ocean at sunset. His ideas were revolutionary and they gave rise to the mystique and glamour that is now pervasive in fashion. Derujinsky was the quintessential Renaissance man photographer, award-winning cinematographer and commercial director, inventor, WWII veteran, world traveler, jewelry designer, musician, ski instructor, Ferrari America race-car driver, and champion glider pilot. His passion for photography started at the tender age of six, by ten, he had built a photo enlarger, and as a teenager, he became the youngest member of the Camera Club of New York. His photographs appeared in major lifestyle magazines and extensively in Harper's Bazaar from 1950 to 1970 Derujinsky’s best fashion photographs are typified by the frisson between high fashion in the 1950s and 1960s with the dynamism of locations and urban scenarios."

Kenneth Miller Adams “Card Players” Signed Lithograph, 1959

By Kenneth Miller Adams

Located in Denver, CO

A compelling mid-century American Regionalist lithograph by Kenneth Miller Adams (1897–1966), titled Card Players and created circa 1959. This expressive figurative print depicts a group of men gathered around a table during a card game, capturing a quiet moment of concentration, camaraderie and everyday American life. Adams uses strong draftsmanship, expressive line and a carefully structured composition to give the intimate interior scene a distinctive sense of character and atmosphere. The figures are arranged around the central table, creating a tightly composed image in which gesture, posture and interaction become as important as the subject itself. Card Players exemplifies Adams's connection to American Regionalism and modern American figurative art, movements that often celebrated ordinary people, working life and distinctly American settings. His approach combines observational realism with a simplified, graphic quality particularly well suited to the lithographic medium. Kenneth Miller Adams was an important figure in the Taos and New Mexico art communities. Born in Kansas, he studied at the Art Institute of Chicago and the Art Students League in New York before traveling in Europe. Encouraged by fellow artist Andrew Dasburg, Adams moved to Taos in 1924 and remained there for twelve years. He became the youngest and last member of the Taos Society...
