About the Item

Signed in ink lower right; Titled in pencil upper left recto Provenance: Joseph Erdelac Collection, Cleveland Erdelac was a noted Longstreet collector who donated many of the artist’s works to the Columbus Museum of Art. Stephen Longstreet Obit from L.A. Times Feb. 22, 2002 An artist by training, Longstreet turned to writing to make a living during the Depression. His career as a writer, which continued into his 80s, was as varied as it was long. He wrote detective novels in the mid-1930s under a variety of pen names before writing fiction under his own name, including "The Pedlocks" and "The Flesh Peddlers." Under contract at Warner Bros. in the 1940s, Longstreet wrote "The Jolson Story" and also "Stallion Road," based on his novel of the same name and starring Ronald Reagan. He later wrote "The Helen Morgan Story," and as a television writer in the '50s and '60s he wrote for "Playhouse 90." A number of his books dealt with jazz, including "Jazz From A to Z: A Graphic Dictionary," his 100th book, published in 1989. Born in New York City in 1907, he grew up in New Brunswick, N.J., where he was introduced to ragtime and jazz by future singing legend Paul Robeson, then an All-American football player at Rutgers University. In his 1986 book "Storyville to Harlem: Fifty Years in the Jazz Scene," Longstreet explained that Robeson made him "aware of the gap between the music taught on paper and the 'razzmatazz' sounds of the scratchy jazz recordings." While studying at the School of Fine and Applied Arts in New York in the late '20s, Longstreet drew the musical scenes in Greenwich Village, the speak-easies and the Cotton Club in Harlem. By the late '20s, Longstreet was furthering his artistic studies in Paris, where he met Picasso, Matisse and other artists. He also met and drew James Joyce, Gertrude Stein and the American "jazzmen" who were, he later wrote, "escaping from Judge Lynch and the back of the bus." He later drew and painted Count Basie, Sarah Vaughan, Billie Holiday, Duke Ellington and other jazz greats. Of Longstreet's depictions of the century's jazz scene, Louis Armstrong wrote in 1971: "You want to feel the smell--the color--the great 'OH MY' feeling of the jazzmen, and stomp around in the smoke and dusk of the joints ... then you just go and locate some of the drawings and paintings of this cat Steve Longstreet and steal you a few." Over the years, Longstreet's jazz-era works, including collages, watercolors and ink drawings, were exhibited in museums and galleries, including the National Portrait Gallery at the Smithsonian Institution.

Untitled Collage made of foil, golf leaf and marbled book papers, c. 2004 Unsigned, from the Estate of the artist. Image size: 8 5/8 x 10 inches Sheet size: 14 x 17 inches Peter Marks (1935 -2010) Peter Marks was born in New York City on January 18, 1935. A lifetime New Yorker, Marks graduated from the High School of Music and Art in 1952 and Amherst College in 1956. After a brief stint as a graphic designer in publishing, Marks became a private art dealer and opened his gallery Peter Marks Works of Art, Inc. in 1960. During this time he specialized in the sale of Southeast Asian and Islamic antiquities and made many contributions to the field both as a dealer and an advocate of his profession. Above all, Marks was motivated by a strong desire to find great art and make it available to large audiences. After retiring from art dealing in 2002, Marks transformed his Manhattan gallery space into a studio where he drew prolifically and painted large non-objective canvasses. This time in his studio was a happy one for Marks, who viewed this period of his life not as retirement, but rather fulfillment, a fact that is confirmed by passionate artistic output in the years leading up to his passing in 2010. In 2012, Thomas French...
