Artist Proof lithograph of the work titled "Settling In". Artist Proof Lithograph signed: “AP”, "Norman Rockwell". 18 x 14¾ visible.

In addition to his many works for the Post, Rockwell illustrated the "Boy Scout Calendar" from 1926-1976.

He was assisted by his sons and Reverend John Bachman (1790-1874), a naturalist and associate of Audubon's since 1831. His previous publication, Birds of America (1826-1838), in four volumes, each copy costing $1,000, was done from his watercolors by a London engraver who had engraved the copper plates, impressed them on paper and hand colored them. Audubon had searched for an American publisher for his works, but unable to fine one, due to the publishing price of $100,000, he had gone abroad. Audubon's fantastic and minutely detailed paintings portrayed 1,065 life-sized birds in natural poses and in their natural habitat.

GUTZON BORGLUM - ORIGINAL ART SIGNED - HFSID 279314

Deep-relief bust rendering of George Washington's head from an original cast by Gutzon Borglum, the sculptor who created the Mount Rushmore National Monument. Produced to help finance construction of the "shrine of democracy", this model displays Borglum's vision and craftsmanship, and was personally signed by him. Original art signed "Gutzon Borglum/Rushmore" on verso. 4¼x5x2 sculpture mounted on 8x9¼x¼ brown velvet-covered wood board. This is a deep-relief rendering of George Washington's head, from a mold made by the sculptor who created the Mount Rushmore National Monument. Executed before the monument itself, this model reflects Borglum's design in its planning stage. Though a small piece, it is filled with subtle details that breathe life and humanity - and dignity - into its subject. This patriotic piece of Americana is a fine exhibition of Borglum's skills. John Gutzon de la Mothe Borglum (1867-1941), born in St. Charles, Idaho, already famous for creating the great head of Lincoln in the U.S. Capitol rotunda, was commissioned to begin work on a "shrine of democracy" in 1927.

PABLO PICASSO - AUTOGRAPH LETTER SIGNED - HFSID 350566

Picasso discusses a possible animated version of his work. Rare ALS: "Picasso", 1p, 7½ x5½. No place, no date. In French with English translation. To Joseph Foster. In full: "This is to confirm to you that I am interested in principle in your proposition regarding a cartoon (dessin animé) film. Before getting involved, however, I would like to see a sample of this genre of film, which we have discussed. At the same time, I would like to have a more complete technical explanation on the subject of the making of this film." Joseph Foster (1904-1971) was President of the Foster Grant Company and envisioned a series of Picasso-style cartoons. Picasso created vivid images in a variety of mediums including paintings, sculptures, ceramics, and drawings. With the advancement of animation and technicolor, he was intrigued with the possibility of setting his cubist style to sound and motion. Picasso found cartoon images to be simple, yet bold in design. This belief influenced much of his later work. The creator of over 20,000 works of art, Picasso is widely considered the greatest and most influential artist of the 20th century. Yellowing in lower area at signature from mounting stains on verso.
