About the Item
One of the most important illustrators and designers of his day, Willy Pogany circulated among some of the world's greatest celebrities, including George Bernard Shaw, William Randolph Hearst, Enrico Caruso and the Barrymore family. Pogany created this image for "The Golden Fleece and the Heroes Who Lived Before Achilles," a hugely successful compilation of mythological tales by Padraic Colum, originally published in 1921 but still in print today. Pogany captures the Grecian woman with grace and economy of line, as well as the child who is engulfed in flame but not consumed. The drawing is dedicated "To Junger from his friend." (Visible image is 9.5" high by 7.5" wide.)

Willy Pogany
Willy Pogany was born and educated in Hungary, before emigrating to Great Britain and then leaving again for New York after World War I. He studied at Budapest Technical University and in Munich and Paris. Pogany spent his early childhood with his brothers and sisters in a large farmhouse full of chickens, ducks, geese, dogs, pigs and horses. He became one of the nation's leading book illustrators, leaving his imprint on a wide range of books such as A Treasury of Verse for Little Children, The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam and The Rime of the Ancient Mariner.

"Triton and Nymph, " Art Deco Drawing by Lincoln Kirstein Associate, 1928
By William Littlefield
Located in Philadelphia, PA
A fine and bold drawing by William Littlefield, this piece depicts male and female nude figures in an embrace, the male figure inspired by Nicholas Podiapolski, Littlefield's model and lover in the late 1920s. Littlefield is known for his male nudes and mythological scenes, either in ink wash as here, or in oil on canvas.
