Playboy cartoon Illustration, "For Posing, My Terms Are a Dollar an Hour, Room
By Richard Taylor
Located in Miami, FL
Put aside Richard Taylor's dry wit. Look at his masterfully rendered figures and brilliantly constructed compositions based on a two-point perspective. Clearly, he is an underrated and overlooked talent in the class of Charles Addams. Above all, Taylor, with his heavely-lidded-eyed figure, has a style of his own. An artist who has an instantly recognized style - unique to him/her is a rarity in today's artworld of derivative artists.

Tender Family Portrait - Mother and Child, Student of Robert Henri
By Margery Austen Ryerson
Located in Miami, FL
Rendered with an alla prima paint application and quick gestural brushstrokes, "Tender Family Portrait - Mother and Child" reflects Margery Ryerson's deep knowledge of academic training. Reyerson studied with Robert Henri at The Art Students League. This painting is aesthetically pleasing and communicates a sense of maternal tenderness from a female artist. Margery Ryerson did a book on her former teacher. Henri's philosophical and practical musings were collected by former pupil Margery Ryerson and published as The Art Spirit (1923), a book that remained in print for several decades. Signed. Lower Left
Margery Austen Ryerson (September 15, 1886 - 1989) was an American artist, painter, etcher, lithographer and watercolorist.Her work is included in the collections of the Smithsonian American Art Museum
Biography
Ryerson earned her Bachelor's of Fine Arts in English from Vassar College in Poughkeepsie, New York, after attending private schools in Morristown. She went on to study under Charles Hawthorne at the Cape Cod School of Art in Provincetown, Massachusetts, and with Robert Henri at the Art Students League in New York.
During the years 1920 through 1940 Ryerson taught in New York settlement houses. There she got the privilege to paint and draw the children in their care. The subjects of these paintings were often the children of the underclass and immigrants. Her artistic technique and subjects gained universal recognition and appealed to many people. Miss Ryerson is most known for her portraits...

Devil - Battle of Good and Evil - Nude woman Like Hieronymus Bosch
Located in Miami, FL
Will good ultimately triumph over evil?
Or is it a perpetual tug of war?
WPA Artist Leonard Lopez paints a complex figural work addressing the theme of "the fight between good and evil. It's reminiscent of the medieval paintings by Hieronymus Bosch, where demons evoke fear and confusion to portray the evil of man.
In this painting, a closeup of a young female’s erotic buttock fills the horizontal space.
Engulfing the sexy nude body is a dense array of Lilliputian-like figures.
The top third of the composition is crammed with floating, sexy, nude female bodies.
The bottom part of the painting features a cross-section of people engaged in their diverse jobs.
Mounted on the nude cheek, Artist Leo Lopez paints a victorious Red Devil with a trident.
He’s holding a wealthy man in a tuxedo upside down. The supernatural powers of the Devil's red forked tail extend beyond its normal length and, like a tentacle from a sea monster, entangles many of the characters that represent society.
To the extreme center right Lopez paints a Winged Venus dressed...
