"Tunisian Man in White Shirt", 1930s Watercolor Painting by Porter Woodruff
About the Item
This piercing and powerful portrait of a Tunisian man with an open-necked shirt provides a glimpse into the life of artist Porter Woodruff in North Africa. Woodruff was best known for his paintings and illustrations for Vogue magazine -- one of five American fashion illustrators who worked for the magazine -- as well as House & Garden. He was born in Tennessee, but spent much of his creative life in Paris and Tunisia, where he lived with Georges Sébastian, an important Hungarian-born, French orchestra conductor. He worked from Villa Sebastian, his home and painting studio in Hammamet, Tunisia and is buried in the gardens there. His best paintings depict the buildings, people and landscapes of Tunisia, including this example. The painting is watercolor on textured paper, and is monogrammed in the lower right hand corner. The reverse retains an old label from an auction house in Tunisia.
