Description Over fifty years ago cartoonist Mickey Bach put a blank canvas on the wall and wrote “Watch This Space” on it. At his parties his friends would “doodle” on the canvas; world famous artists Henry Clive, Clifford Mcbride, Jeffery Machamer, Andrew Loomis, Earl Moran and Theodore Giesel (better known as Dr Seuss). These were spontaneous paintings produced over a six year period, all on one canvas (canvas size 24” by 30”). This original artwork is one of a kind, and priceless. If you are not moved and in awe of Watch This Space, you should take your pulse, as you probably have no heartbeat! -------- Andrew Loomis (1892-1959), Not only was Andrew Loomis an artist extraordinaire, he was an amazing teacher. His art instruction books (six in all) were best sellers and are coveted by art students around the world. Collectors covet his oil paintings. ------- Henry Clive (1882-1960), His spectacular pastels and oils were on the covers of Smart Set, True Confessions, Screen Play, Theatre Magazine and American Weekly. Clive was adept at both pastel work and oils, his original works are extremely scarce and coveted by collectors; only a few are known to exist. -------- Clifford McBride (1901-1950), in 1932, McBride launched the daily strip 'Napoleon', which was an instant success, and was a mainstay of the comic pages for more than a quarter of a century. Napoleon was a big, clumsy, Irish Wolfhound. Uncle Elby was an elderly single man who thought he was Napoleon's master, but the dog ran the show. -------- Earl Moran (1893-1984), A pioneer of the pinup craze starting in the 1930’s, he was the equivalent of today’s rock star. As moran stated, “One day a blonde kid named Norma Jean Dougherty came by looking for work. For the next four or five years, she posed for many of my paintings and during that time changed her name to Marilyn Monroe”. His contribution on "Watch This Space" is nothing short of spectacular. ------- Jeffery Machamer (1900-1960), His drawings of beautiful girls for the humor magazine Judge during the 1920’s and 1930’s brought him notoriety. He wrote art instruction books, and his advice to aspiring artists; “have fun!” ------- Theodore Geisel aka Dr Seuss (1904-1991), After the war he moved to La Jolla California and wrote “Cat in the Hat” to combat illiteracy, and, as they say, the rest is history. Ted Geisel was a true poet; his books employed a meter (anapestic tetrameter) used by the famous poet Lord Byron. The lecherous look of the character “nature lover” is priceless. ------- E-mail any questions you may have for this rare oppurtunity to own the one of a kind artwork. Place a Bid!
