"Child in Fire, " Classic Drawing by Willy Pogany
About the Item
One of the most important illustrators and designers of his day, Willy Pogany circulated among some of the world's greatest celebrities, including George Bernard Shaw, William Randolph Hearst, Enrico Caruso and the Barrymore family. Pogany created this image for "The Golden Fleece and the Heroes Who Lived Before Achilles," a hugely successful compilation of mythological tales by Padraic Colum, originally published in 1921 but still in print today. Pogany captures the Grecian woman with grace and economy of line, as well as the child who is engulfed in flame but not consumed. The drawing is dedicated "To Junger from his friend." (Visible image is 9.5" high by 7.5" wide.)
