WWII Remember December 7th Small
Est: $50 - $100
Artist: Allen Saalburg Artist Dates: 1899 - 1987 Signed Within Plate: Yes Date of Work: 1942 Description: Poster uses text from Rooseveltâ€™s Day of Infamy speech. It displays the image of a tattered American flag waving in the wind. The flag is hanging from a crooked pole at half-mast against a background mostly consisting of dark plumes of smoke and the glow of fire. There is a large hole in the middle of the flag, through which can be seen both the smoke and the blue skies and clouds together. With the anguish and grief of Americans linked to the events of December 7, 1941, the poster is an attempt to promote nationalism and boost support of the war effort. Allen Saalburg painted large murals in NYC prior to illustrating WWII posters. Lida Orzeck came across more than 750 vintage war posters from World War I and World War II in her familyâ€™s home basement that her father, David Orzeck, a Brooklyn doctor, had meticulously collected. Discovered in 1970, the posters â€" of which few pristine prints remain with the exception of the National Archives and the Library of Congress â€" were in mint condition, neatly catalogued and folded in brown wrapping paper from grocery stores. Size: 14"L x 20"H Weight: < 1 ounce Provenance: Dr. David Orzeck Condition: Poster has original fold marks and has not been exposed to sunlight, thus preserving the vibrant colors. Recently backed with archival paper (reversible). Artist Biography: Allen Saalburg was born June 25, 1899 in Rochelle, Illinois. Charles Saalburg, his father, a newspaper cartoonist and printer, moved the family to New York when he obtained a patent for early four-color printing, first used to print the cartoon strip The Yellow Kid.Allen Saalburg studied painting at Pratt Institute, and with William Sloan at the Art Students League, 1918-1920. In 1927, he joined his brother, Leslie, an illustrator, in Paris for three years. He exhibited paintings at Bernheim-Jeune, the Right Bank gallery known for its adventurous displays of early modern art.Saalburg's paintings were exhibited in a one-man show in November, 1929, some months after fellow American Gerald Murphy's larger exhibition. The exhibit alluded playfully to American historical subjects, such as the tobacco trade. He returned to New York in 1930, where he rejoined a largely literary circle that included Dorothy Parker, S.J. Perelman, Robert Benchley, and Marc Connelly.In 1937, Connelly asked Saalburg to art direct the Hollywood movie of his Pulitzer Prize-winning play, The Green Pastures, with its pioneering all-black cast; Saalburg's backdrop paintings were acquired by Gertrude Whitney for the Whitney Museum. He also designed sets for Enig Bagnold's Two Bouquets on Broadway. He showed paintings at the Kraushaar Gallery and the Whitney Museum (1938).He continued to paint murals for private and institutional clients, and he began painting covers and interior illustrations for Fortune, Vogue, Vanity Fair, the Saturday Evening Post, and other publications. In 1935, Juliana Force, the director of the Whitney Museum and organizer of the first Federal Art Program in New York, introduced Saalburg's work to the Parks Commissioner, Robert Moses, who put him in charge of the WPA mural projects for the entire parks department.Projects included the Old Stone House at Gowanus in Brooklyn, the Arsenal in Central Park (where Moses had his office), the bar room of the newly created Tavern on the Green, and the terrace restaurant at the zoo. In the mid-1930s, he entered into a partnership to produce murals with Louis Bouche and Everett Henry, then the only such firm in the U.S.Among their projects were twelve murals for the cocktail lounge cars of the ultramodern trains commissioned from industrial designer Raymond Loewy by the Pennsylvania Railroad, the original gourmet shop at Bloomingdale's, and a mural with eighteen interior panels for the Home Building Pavilion at the 1939 New York World's Fair.Saalburg joined his friends S.J. Perelman, Dorothy Parker, photographer Louise Dahl-Wolfe, the painter Henry Schnakenberg, and many others in moving to Bucks County, Pennsylvania.At first part of a weekend colony, he moved to Uhlerstown in 1947, and opened his studio, the Canal Press, in nearby Frenchtown, New Jersey. He continued to paint while experimenting with the silk-screen process; his prints on glass and paper were sold principally through the New York Graphic Society during the 1950s and '60s.Mural projects from this period included screen-printing the Clairol Pavilion for the 1964 World's Fair in New York, an entirely glass building. Saalburg continued to show new paintings and limited edition screen prints in one-man shows at the Bodley Gallery in New York and in the Bucks County area until the early 1980s.Saalburg was married to and divorced from costume/fashion designer Muriel King, and the painter Mary Faulconer. He died July 17, 1987. Meta: Poster, WWI, WWII, Military, Militaria, Army, Navy, Marines, AirForce, Propaganda.

WWII Remember December 7th Medium
Est: $100 - $200
Artist: Allen Saalburg Artist Dates: 1899 - 1987 Signed Within Plate: Yes Date of Work: 1942 Description: Poster uses text from Rooseveltâ€™s Day of Infamy speech. It displays the image of a tattered American flag waving in the wind. The flag is hanging from a crooked pole at half-mast against a background mostly consisting of dark plumes of smoke and the glow of fire. There is a large hole in the middle of the flag, through which can be seen both the smoke and the blue skies and clouds together. With the anguish and grief of Americans linked to the events of December 7, 1941, the poster is an attempt to promote nationalism and boost support of the war effort. Allen Saalburg painted large murals in NYC prior to illustrating WWII posters. Lida Orzeck came across more than 750 vintage war posters from World War I and World War II in her familyâ€™s home basement that her father, David Orzeck, a Brooklyn doctor, had meticulously collected. Discovered in 1970, the posters â€" of which few pristine prints remain with the exception of the National Archives and the Library of Congress â€" were in mint condition, neatly catalogued and folded in brown wrapping paper from grocery stores. Size: 22"L x 28"H Weight: < 1 ounce Provenance: Dr. David Orzeck Condition: Poster has original fold marks and has not been exposed to sunlight, thus preserving the vibrant colors. Recently backed with archival paper (reversible). Artist Biography: Allen Saalburg was born June 25, 1899 in Rochelle, Illinois. Charles Saalburg, his father, a newspaper cartoonist and printer, moved the family to New York when he obtained a patent for early four-color printing, first used to print the cartoon strip The Yellow Kid.Allen Saalburg studied painting at Pratt Institute, and with William Sloan at the Art Students League, 1918-1920. In 1927, he joined his brother, Leslie, an illustrator, in Paris for three years. He exhibited paintings at Bernheim-Jeune, the Right Bank gallery known for its adventurous displays of early modern art.Saalburg's paintings were exhibited in a one-man show in November, 1929, some months after fellow American Gerald Murphy's larger exhibition. The exhibit alluded playfully to American historical subjects, such as the tobacco trade. He returned to New York in 1930, where he rejoined a largely literary circle that included Dorothy Parker, S.J. Perelman, Robert Benchley, and Marc Connelly.In 1937, Connelly asked Saalburg to art direct the Hollywood movie of his Pulitzer Prize-winning play, The Green Pastures, with its pioneering all-black cast; Saalburg's backdrop paintings were acquired by Gertrude Whitney for the Whitney Museum. He also designed sets for Enig Bagnold's Two Bouquets on Broadway.
