195514112np New York ca. 1955. Very good. 18 large completed plus 6 smaller loose portraits executed in pen & ink with watercolor or guache on paper. Large works all approx. 19" x 12"; smaller 12.5" x 9". With a large 17" x 12" spiral-bound artist's notebook containing eight additional color studies plus one sketch. Also includes 18 other loose preliminary works various sizes and media - including one brief series of Shakespearean costume design. Most SIGNED by the artist. Generally very good or better overall. <br/><br/>Lovely selection of original fashion art depicting various women's runway dresses all ca. 1955. We have been unable to discover much about the artist Mr. Leigh. But he was clearly an accomplished designer colorist and draftsman. We do know he was based in New York City and assume given the professional skill with which these works were executed that he likely worked in the industry either for a designer or a fashion magazine. The portraits themselves are quintessentially post-war in their style and taste clearly indebted to VOGUE and their artists. A beautiful primary collection of 1950s high fashion. unknown books

1950147039Various cities: Various 1950. Collection of 140 vintage photographs of department store window displays 9 of which are double weight. Eight photographs dated 1948 four dated 1949 with the rest being circa 1950s. Nearly two thirds with stamps on the verso or other identifying information for the photographers or photography studios. <br/><br/>Roughly half of the photographs feature window displays from Peck & Peck a New York based chain that at its peak had 78 stores across the United States including images from its flagship store on 5th Avenue in New York. Also included are 26 photographs of displays at the nearby Stern's as well as 19 photographs from photography studios in Southern California including Los Angeles Long Beach and Pasadena 8 of which are identified as being from Buffum's stores. <br/><br/>The window displays in this collection predominantly feature mannequins showcasing women's clothing and accessories with a smaller number featuring children and teens and occasional ones focused on furniture or household decorations. The displays are arranged in such a way that they create abstract aspirational narratives around travel parties and leisure activities in retrospect giving historical context not to mention a surreal frozen-in-time quality to the Mid-century modern design and fashion. Taken as a whole a fairly comprehensive look at the focus and psychology of women's advertising and fashion in the American mid-century. <br/><br/>10 x 8 inches.
