About the Item
Cuteness personified. An innocent young child holds a cute doll in one hand, and in the other, she has a leashed, soft furry little lamb - while she attends an outdoor concert of singing bluebirds. The whole feel of this work moves from childhood innocence to almost surrealism. The artist depicts an outdoor scene with a high-key directional studio light that augments the already punchy colors. Is Mabel Rollins Harris a female René Magritte?
Mabel Rollins Harris was, among other things, an illustrator who specialized in Children's art. Looking at her work today, her pictures take on an almost surreal quality. She posed her models in a studio and overlit them with multiple light sources creating a shadowless rendition of form. Undoubtedly the finest female illustrator of the Art Deco era" in Charles G. Martignette's The Great American Pin-Up, from the late 1920s through the early 1940s, her work was widely featured on calendars, greeting cards, and in magazines, and was also reproduced on jigsaw puzzles and hand fans.
