Description
Offered here is the original October 1938 Harper’s Bazaar cover designed by A. M. Cassandre entitled Beauty. It is a masterful example of surrealism and is consistent with the best Cassandre works. He reduced the subject matter to its essence in order to quickly communicate visually. His work is highly collectible, especially his posters for Wagon Lits and Dubonnet. In 1936, his works were exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City which led to commissions from Harper’s Bazaar to do cover designs. This cover is in a carved gold leaf frame with an acid-free mat and a gallery glass face. It measures 14 × 18 inches framed.
