Wayne Benter Jung, Fashion Sketch of Josephine Baker, Post WWII Gouache and ink on paper, 7.5" x 9.5" (sight), silver lacquered frame 11" x 9", circa late 1940s This vibrant fashion illustration represents Josephine Baker, the American-born dancer, singer, and actress whose international fame made her one of the most recognizable icons of the 20th century. Although often associated with her Parisian rise during the 1920s Jazz Age, Baker continued to embody glamour and modernity well into the 1940s and beyond, performing throughout wartime Europe, assisting the French Resistance, and reinventing her stage image for postwar audiences. The sketch, executed by Wayne Benter Jung (1919–2003), reflects this later phase of Baker’s career. Jung, a Wisconsin-born artist who studied at the Layton School of Art in Milwaukee and served in WWII, turned to fashion and theatrical design during his early postwar years. His work often balanced fine art, interior decoration, and fashion, situating him within the larger mid-century American dialogue between commercial design and artistic practice.

Painted painting by BOWES DAVID, Untitled from 1986. Details: Signature and year at upper left. Technique : drawing on Fabriano Watermark.

Consciously flirting with the decorative, Bowes often compresses the background and foreground, as in wallpaper, and there is a suggestion of fabric design in the way he repeats his patterns at intervals on the surface. In some images, patterns emerge. In others, the pattern overwhelms itself Provenance; Lucio Amelio Collection, Naples; Private collection. Slight defects. David Bowes...
