I just bought a Gwen Wirth painting. It is lovely! It deserves a good home and I’d like it to be with a relative of hers.

Hi I’m looking for any artwork by Gwen Wirth. Do you know of her work for the Post? I believe she did work in the twenties for them, maybe early thirties. trying to locate pictures because we are related.

I love all the selections this week Diana, but ‘Larcenous Lady’ has to be my favorite. I LOVE the inside story illustrations by the likes of Bob Hilbert (as seen here). They’re sexy, but mostly just gorgeous artwork that exemplifies the look and desire for perfection in America at mid-century. These illustrations deliver that, and more.

These are wonderful. I had forgotten how I looked forward to the The Saturday Evening Post when growning up.
