Raritäten
Bazaar - [Marion -
1976] - Set of 4 postcards
Set of 4 postcards in pen and
ink. 1976.
Note: The originals were drawn
about double postcard size and printed as postcards to promote
my business Raritäten
Bazaar in Düsseldorf, Germany, in
the mid-1970's. The designs featured a young love at the time, Marion
Hermsen, whom I later used as the portrait of a painting
Marion the temptress;
she was wild and volatile and could never settle down since
leaving home, departing for Paris years before at the tender age of
14. Her father was a German lawyer with a very straight background
and had no idea what to do with her. Art Nouveau and Art Deco were
my love during that period, hence their theme for the Marion
paintings.
The Raritäten
Bazaar business was basically antiques and objet d'art and restoring
antique furniture from a large warehouse, and emblazoned the name
across the bonnet of my estate car. |
