Vintage Pen and Ink Illustration Art - George Baumgard Dated 1926 - Salons of America Art Society Exhibit at Anderson Galleries

Product Description

Vintage pen and ink illustration by George Baumgard signed and dated 1926. This work measures 10" by 14" and is titled "Colorfull Moments". It depicts a group of men gathered in an industrial or commercial space, possibly some type of club. Note the large rolls of paper (plans, works of art?) and the file drawers. The center figure leaning back in the chair has the attention of the others as he speaks. The figure on the left with Oxford style glasses and listens while rolling his cigarette. This drawing captures the bohemian spirit of the jazz-age. It is in good condition with moderate toning and is not laid down.

The original label on the back indicates that the work was shown in the spring "Salons of America" exhibit at the Anderson Galleries in New York. Salons of America was an art society founded in 1922. The original board of directors included Charles Demuth, E.E. Cummings, Gaston Lachaise, and George Luks. George Baumgard is a listed illustrator and painter with an entry in "Who's Who in American Art". He studied at the New York School of Art with Edward Hopper and Rockwell Kent in 1905. During much of his career, he lived in the borough of Brooklyn.
