“She finds that exercise does not improve her spirits.”
American artist Charles Dana Gibson (1867-1944) created elegant pen and ink illustrations that were evocative of American life. He was best known for his creation of the Gibson Girl, an iconic representation of the beautiful and independent Euro-American woman at the turn of the 20th century. His wife, Irene Langhorne, and her four sisters inspired his images. He published his illustrations in “Life” magazine and other major national publications for more than 30 years, becoming editor of “Life” in 1918 and later owner of the magazine. [Source: Wikipedia]

"Lovely, Willful and Wanton"
The famous portrait of Salvador Dalí for LIFE magazine by Philippe Halsman in a "making of" version: this version has a wider crop than the published version, showing the assistant holding the chair, the prop that lifts the stool, and the piano wires used to hold the picture and the easel in place (in fact the frame on the easel is still empty). Wet spots from some of the many previous attempts (28 in total -- that's 84 thrown cats) can also be seen on the floor.

American painter and illustrator Maxfield Parrish (1870-1966) was active in the first half of the 20th century. His artistic career lasted for more than half a century and helped shape the Golden Age of illustration and American visual arts. During his career, he produced nearly 900 pieces of art including calendars, greeting cards, and magazine covers and illustrated several books still sought after today: for example, Eugene Field’s “Poems of Childhood” (1904), “Arabian Nights” (1909), “A Wonder Book and Tanglewood Tales” (1910), and “The Knave of Hearts” (1925). Parrish is said to have earned over $100,000 per year by 1910, when homes could be bought for $2,000.
