‎Costumes parisiens. Robe de petite fille en crêpe de chine bleu fleuri pl.137 Journal des Dames et des Modes 1914 n°61‎

‎Paris: S. n. 1914. Fine. S. n. Paris 1914 14 x 22.50 cm une feuille original print in color printed on laid paper signed lower left of the board. A small spot in the board. One of the first French fashion magazines published a few days before the famous Gazette fashionable and bringing together the greatest French artists of the Art Deco movement. The Journal ladies and modes is a trimensuelle illustrated French fashion magazine created in 1797. Its publication was stopped in 1839 before being taken in June 1912 under the leadership of Tommaso Antongini secretary friend and biographer of Gabriele 'Annunzio. It will disappear in August 1914 on the eve of the First World War. The review was drawn to 1279 copies making it for the time a relatively confidential publication. The 186 plates with great finesse are engraved on strong paper and colored stencil. They represent the majority of the time women but also men and children. The models are not unlike those of the Gazette fashionable whose publication will be launched a few months later those renowned couturiers but are the fruit of the imagination of the illustrators themselves. The stencils are mostly executed by George Barbier but other artists collaborating on the magazine: Léon Bakst B. Berty Bernard Boutet de Monvel Roger Broders Jan van Brock Umberto Brunelleschi H. Robert Dammy Etienne Drian Abel Faivre Marie-Madeleine Franc-Nohain Xavier Gosé Paul Iribe Kriegck Victor Lhuer Pierre Legrain Charles Martin Fernand Simeon Ismael Smith Henry and Gerda Wegener Valley. Many of these illustrators will also be involved in The Gazette fashionable. Their work emblematic of the Art Deco movement emphasize the influence of Orientalism and costumes of the Ballets Russes while registering in the daily activities of affluent French of the time. From the preface of the first issue of 1912 Anatole France said: ""After seventy-five years he is reborn. He is reborn through the efforts of a few ingenious minds and artists. He is reborn for the curious if there is that do not simply modes newspaper fired several thousand and illustrated by photography. And if publishers make us very exactly in its format with its paper printing its processes of etching and coloring the old classic patterns of the past is that they intend to continue the pleasantly and become charming classic fashion of today and tomorrow.

‎MARIO RUBEN COOPER‎

‎1960s ORIGINAL PRE PUBLICATION MANUSCRIPT ART AND LAYOUT BOOK BY RENOWNED MEXICAN-AMERICAN MASTER WATERCOLOURIST‎

‎NEW YORK CITY. Good. 1960. On offer is a super original circa 1960 manuscript art book created by watercolour artist Mario Ruben Cooper. The book was Cooper's pre publication manuscript that became his noted "Drawing and Painting the City". Born in Mexico City on Nov. 26 1905 Cooper was raised in Los Angeles where he began his art studies at the Chouinard and Otis Art Institutes. He continued in New York at Columbia University and Grand Central School of Art where he later taught. Following his art training he pursued a career in NYC as an illustrator for Collier's magazine. He authored Drawing and Painting the City in 1967. Quite popular many works by the artist have been sold at auction including ''Piggy O'Kane Peered Out Saw That the Coast Was Clear and Motioned His Companions' Collier's magazine story illustration' which sold at Heritage Auctions New York 'Illustration Art Auction ' in 2011. There have been several articles about Mario Cooper including 'University of the Arts Alumnus Arnold Roth Inducted into Society of Illustrators Hall of Fame' written for ArtDaily in 2009. Overall G. BIO NOTES: We quote from the Society of Illustrators: Mario Cooper 1905 - 1995 excelled in many roles. His years in illustration showed his deep commitment to the magic that is design and his appreciation of research. He once built an entire cardboard staircase complete with banister and balusters so that he could be sure of how the light and shadows would play on it. Born in Mexico City in 1905 his American father brought the family to the United States to avoid threats of the escalating Mexican revolution. He got his first taste of art while in Mexico. Later his insatiable appetite for research set the stage for new "points of view" in his work such as looking down from a balcony or stair landing or leaning out a window. In the 1930s when he was teaching illustration at Columbia University in New York City sculpture classes caught his eye. However illustration was still his love and he became known for interpretations of stories by such authors as Agatha Christie Clarence Buddington Kelland Erich Maria Remarque and many others. He even did illustrations for a story titled "The Cardinal's Mistress." The author was little known in the United States though he was known in Rome. His name was Benito Mussolini. Unfortunately it wasn't too long until Americans did get to know that name - but not as an author. Mario taught illustration at Pratt Institute when the world was recovering from World War II. The United States Air Force had now come of age and in 1950 instituted the U.S. Air Force Art Program to document the ongoing history of military aviation and aeronautics. In 1953 the Air Force made a pact with the Society: In exchange for transportation and a per diem the illustrators would donate their artwork to the Air Force. In 1954 Mario Cooper was assigned a plane with crew of seven as well as a courtesy rank of Brigadier General. He made visits to Asia Europe Africa and Alaska accompanied by members of the Society. NASA also enlisted aid from the Society for art about America's space program including the moon landing exploration etc. One of the paintings Mario donated is of a missile launch done from sketches and photos taken at Cape Canaveral. A majority of his work is in the Pentagon and at the Smithsonian Institute. Putting together these memories of Mario whom I married in 1964 I thought to add a memory of my own - I recall a winter day in Chicago in 1932. My sister Gretchen who was seventeen and I a rambunctious ten were lounging on the bed. She had turned on the overhead and I didn't like its stark light. But she needed it to look at her magazines. She was "ooh-ing and ah-ing" over the stories and the illustrations that accompanied them. Gretchen tried to get me interested but I was not. Being Tarzan was my thing running around with a rubber knife in my belt. That was more like it. She insisted on showing me an illustration that had a monkey on a woman's shoulder. After all there are monkeys in the jungle but usually not on a gal's shoulder. Any Tarzan knows that! That is about all I remember of the incident. I do not recall looking at magazines ever again with my sister but I do know that I was ten which made this memory all the more intriguing. You see Mario illustrated a story for Collier's entitled "The Old Rake." It has a woman going up a stairway with a monkey on her shoulder. A man is below looking up at them. I have the original illustration in my collection and guess what It was first published in 1932 when I was ten. So I may have "met" Mario thirty-two years before I married him.

‎La Partie de cache-cache. Robe en ruban. La Gazette du Bon ton n°1. Année 1921 - Planche 1‎

‎Paris: Lucien Vogel éditeur 1921. Fine. Lucien Vogel éditeur Paris 1921 19.50 x 25 cm une feuille Original color print printed on vergé paper signed in the plate. An original print used to illustrate the Gazette du bon ton one of the most attractive and influential 20th century fashion magazines featuring the talents of French artists and other contributors from the burgeoning Art Deco movement. A celebrated fashion magazine established in 1912 by Lucien Vogel La Gazette du bon ton appeared until 1925 with a hiatus from 1915 to 1920 due to the war the editor-in-chief having been called up for service. It consisted of 69 issues printed in only 2000 copies each and notably illustrated with 573 color plates and 148 sketches of the models of the great designers. Right from the start this sumptuous publication “was aimed at bibliophiles and fashionable society” Françoise Tétart-Vittu “La Gazette du bon ton” in Dictionnaire de la mode 2016 and was printed on fine vergé paper using a type cut specially for the magazine by Georges Peignot known as Cochin later used in 1946 by Christian Dior. The prints were made using stencils heightened in colors some highlighted in gold or palladium. The story began in 1912 when Lucien Vogel a man of the world involved in fashion he had already been part of the fashion magazine Femina decided with his wife Cosette de Brunhoff – the sister of Jean creator of Babar – to set up the Gazette du bon ton subtitled at the time: “Art fashion frivolities.” Georges Charensol noted the reasoning of the editor-in-chief: “’In 1910’ he observed ‘there was no really artistic fashion magazine nothing representative of the spirit of the time. My dream was therefore to make a luxury magazine with truly modern artists…I was assured of success because when it comes to fashion no country on earth can compete with France.’” “Un grand éditeur d’art. Lucien Vogel” in Les Nouvelles littéraires no. 133 May 1925. The magazine was immediately successful not only in France but also in the United States and Latin America. At first Vogel put together a team of seven artists: André-Édouard Marty and Pierre Brissaud followed by Georges Lepape and Dammicourt as well as eventually his friends from school and the School of Fine Arts like George Barbier Bernard Boutet de Monvel and Charles Martin. Other talented people soon came flocking to join the team: Guy Arnoux Léon Bakst Benito Boutet de Monvel Umberto Brunelleschi Chas Laborde Jean-Gabriel Domergue Raoul Dufy Édouard Halouze Alexandre Iacovleff Jean Émile Laboureur Charles Loupot Chalres Martin Maggie Salcedo. These artist mostly unknown when Lucien Vogel sought them out later became emblematic and sought-after artistic figures. It was also they who worked on the advertising drawings for the Gazette. The plates put the spotlight on and celebrate dresses by seven designers of the age: Lanvin Doeuillet Paquin Poiret Worth Vionnet and Doucet. The designers provided exclusive models for each issue. Nonetheless some of the illustrations are not based on real models but simply on the illustrator’s conception of the fashion of the day. The Gazette du bon ton was an important step in the history of fashion. Combining aesthetic demands with the physical whole it brought together – for the first time – the great talents of the artistic literary and fashion worlds; and imposed through this alchemy a completely new image of women: slender independent and daring which was shared by the new generation of designers including Coco Chanel Jean Patou Marcel Rochas and so on… Taken over in 1920 by Condé Montrose Nast the Gazette du bon ton was an important influence on the new layout and aesthetics of that “little dying paper” that Nast had bought a few years earlier: Vogue.
