Walker Everett, an artist and professor, celebrated the works of selected
great American illustration artists by employing their distinctive styles
in a series of his own paintings. In this work, he pays homage to Coles
Phillips (1880-1927), best known for "fade-away girl" figures that appear
to blend into the background. Generally good with the usual light toning,
wear, soiling, light abrasions. Reframing recommended.
