Artwork Featuring Hats

[Hurricane Jack]

Good find, Jack. Do you have that issue?

No but I remembered the image from a Western pulp art auction Brian Lebel had a few yrs ago & I still have the auction catalog. 1936-1937 was a big era for Western pulp art & the images are all very similar. Then about 1946 it changed; the images became a bit more modern. Current images of the art form are very modern like. There is a coffee table book that covers vintage pulp art that's fun to study.

Thanks HJ. I was close! I figured it was something that was probably on a paperback book cover, of sorts.

Those are cool, especially the first two sheriff's.

Jack Vetrianno is such a talent, so much of his work depicts the era too. This is on my month by month calendar for April. I love the title. "Edith & The Kingpin."

Whilst searching on line for the above picture I came across two, quite striking artistic hat impressions. Both were anonymous, despite much searching, I still cannot find out who the artist(s) could be. Here they are, maybe a Lounger might recognise them.

Sign of the Times

General Order No. 11 was issued by Union General Thomas Ewing, Jr., midterm during the Civil War on August 25, 1863. It's purpose was to cut off local support for the Confederate Army & groups of Missouri Partisan Rangers by ordering the complete evacuation of four counties in western Missouri. In hopes of increasing desertions & to keep family members from returning General Ewing ordered livestock to be killed or turned loose, their crops & homes to be burned often giving families no time to save their possessions. President Lincoln approved the order. At great personal loss Order No. 11 was a complete failure & only served to strengthen the resolve of the residents. In January 1864 General Ewing was replaced & Order No. 11 was repealed. For many yrs & still today to those with family ties, those four counties are known as the "burnt district". Being a large extended family, the Younger family was hard hit. This painting still hangs in the burnt district.

In 1994 I'm sure we were line dancing at clubs named "Lil Filly's" & "Miss Kitty's" wearing the same periwinkle puffy shirts we did in the disco era.

I really enjoy his work, HJ. First time I’ve seen the studio pic. Some fine pieces hanging behind and scattered about him. Spending time looking. Thanks for posting.
