Pained by ‘Helck 30’ as noted and signed on the bottom right.
Peter Helck was born in New York City in 1893. He studied art at the Art Students League in Manhattan and later studied in England with muralist Frank Brangwyn. From the 1920s through the 1940s Helck was very successful as a magazine illustrator and advertising artist. His commissions frequently were of Industrial scenes, or featured cars, trucks and locomotives. During that period, he also painted pictures of famous automobile races, having been an avid fan of the sport since childhood. In 1944 he did a series of paintings for Esquire magazine in which he recreated the excitement of automobile races from the first decades of the 20th century. To his great satisfaction, these pictures proved very popular, and in the following decades he developed a large market for paintings of old cars. It is for this genre that he is mostly remembered today. But there was another side to his artistic creativity. Over the years he had produced a number of works that he referred to as his “Fine art” works. They were often city-escapes or landscapes. The compositions were very dynamic, dominated by bold diagonals, but the colors tended to be muted, even somber at times. The human figure, when present, was usually subordinate to the overall composition (even though they were usually painted with considerable grace and individuality). The uncompromising realism of his art was of course out of step with the artistic movements of the mid-1900s, so these works, which he considered his best, have remained largely unknown to this day.
