About the Item
"Dancer” – Artist’s Proof Serigraph by Bertha Vincent Walls (American, 1917–2010)
Bertha Vincent Walls (American, 1917–2010). Edition: Artist’s Proof (A.P.), pencil signed lower right, edition notation lower left.
A striking silkscreen print by noted American artist Bertha Vincent Walls, whose work explores dynamic human forms through bold color blocking and dramatic silhouette. In Dancer, a muscular male figure is caught mid-leap, arm raised with theatrical flair against an abstract red and ochre background. The visual tension between motion and stillness reflects Walls’ deep engagement with modern dance, movement, and the expressive human body. This vibrant Artist’s Proof exemplifies the artist’s command of color and form in mid-century printmaking.
Attribution Note:
Stylistically, Dancer aligns with the mid-20th-century figurative expression seen in the works of Charles Wilbert White, Elizabeth Catlett, and John Biggers—artists who emphasized human dignity, movement, and identity through bold graphic forms. The composition also resonates with the visual language of the 1970s modern dance movement, notably the work of choreographer Alvin Ailey, whose dynamic, emotionally charged performances influenced a generation of visual artists.

Jerome Myers, Virginia Modeling, Hand-Colored Etching, Signed “Imp”, c. 1920
By Jerome Myers
Located in Morristown, NJ
Jerome Myers (American, 1867–1940)
"Virginia Modeling," ca. 1912–1920
Hand-colored etching on paper, pencil signed Jerome Myers imp. with pencil notation on the back left corner of VIRGINIA MODELING
Possibly an artist’s proof outside the edition of 50
Description:
An exceptional and intimate hand-colored etching by Jerome Myers, a foundational member of the Ashcan School and one of early 20th-century America’s most lyrical chroniclers of urban life. Virginia Modeling depicts Myers’s young daughter seated at a table forming a small clay figure beside a lush floral arrangement—a tender scene of childhood creativity rendered with the artist’s characteristic delicacy.
This composition is based on a 1912 preparatory drawing now held in the Cooper Hewitt Smithsonian Design Museum. The etching was created around 1920 and is hand-colored in subtle tones, likely by the artist himself or in collaboration with his wife, artist Ethel Myers. The work is pencil signed and marked imp, indicating that the artist printed or supervised the printing of this impression himself—suggesting a personal connection to this particular work.
