Glintenkamp: Muse Thalia

The Muse Thalia Welcoming Theater Goers

Original drawing in poster colors on wove paper, 1915, 215 x 730 mm., signed with initial. This was, presumably and according to a note on the back, a design for a poster, but as no text is present, we do not know if it was for a specific theater or perhaps for The Masses, the leftist magazine for which, at the time, Glintenkamp, along with Sloan, Bellows and Stuart Davis, was providing illustrations. Glintenkamp was born in New Jersey, studied at the National Academy of Design and later with Robert Henri and exhibited at the Armory Show in 1913. He was an important figure in American art, if today overshadowed by bigger names. The colors here are still fresh and bright, the paper slightly browned; there are some creases and a split central fold has been well reinforced. A unique object.
