Description
John Striebel Dixie Dugan Dancing Illustration Original Art (undated). Dixie Dugan, the long-running syndicated newspaper comic strip, was published from 1929-66. The title character was originally modeled after twenties film actress Louise Brooks, and early story arcs followed Dixie's exploits as a Hollywood showgirl. Dixie Dugan first appeared in two slightly risque novels written by J. P. McEvoy, serialized in 1928-29 in the pages of Liberty. McEvoy's novels were then published in book form by Simon & Schuster as Show Girl (1928) and Hollywood Girl (1929). In the first story, Dixie begins as a Broadway chorus girl, and in the second she moves to Hollywood. The stories combined romance, glamour, and a bit of scandal as Dixie pursued a career in show business. The novel's illustrations by John H. Striebel show a strong resemblance between Dixie and actress Louise Brooks, complete with Brooks' then-fashionable "helmet" hairdo. This wonderful nightclub scene, drawn in ink and wash on board, has an overall size of 9.5" x 14", and aside from some overall aging and wear, the art is in Very Good condition.Auction Info
