Edward Penfield (1866-1925) worked as a commercial illustrator at the turn of the 20th century. In his day, color magazine covers and posters often were still reproduced lithographically, but not for much longer. After the War cheaper methods for printing color became widespread.

Baselitz Figures

Carved and painted wooden figures by Georg Baselitz (b. 1938).

Below, a sequence of views from 2009 – the creation, the installation, and the repose of a seated wooden colossus.

Frosting

Lunch at Grandma's house. Mabel had pineapple bits and the "unspicy" cheese quesadilla she prefers, on a whole wheat tortilla. Grandma also introduced her to the treat of scraping the frosting bowl.

Baselitz Busts

German artist Georg Baselitz (b. 1938) made the earliest of these painted wooden busts in the 1980s. Some reports suggest that his carving tools of choice are an ax and a chainsaw. The book cover confirms that chisels also have their role.
