Faces in the News: 1941
October 1941. "Manikins in store window. Amsterdam, New York." Faces in the News, and vice versa. Medium-format negative by John Collier. View full size.
Off with their heads!
Looks like the window dresser found inspiration in engravings from the French Revolution.
Kinda Creepy
But y'know, after looking just a little longer I can see some great artistry in the eye rendering. Kind of grew on me.
A Head of their time
Back around the early 1970's some very fine artists around the country were incorporating into their gallery oil paintings snippets of actual newspaper articles, comics, photos, headlines, etc. in what was then considered modern art. It is news to me that this was being done 30 years earlier.
That's Using Your Head
Another window display designed by Jack the Ripper.
Wow, Grisly!
I suspect the window dresser didn't have a very long career.
