Reb’s Notes on “Janine”

I wish I had more information to share on the history of this magnificent artist. I’ve only seen her work published in a few assorted magazines many years ago.

I have not even been able to determine the time-frame of her artworks. Not one of the publications had a date in it anywhere. No dates in references, letters, stories, etc. Only one letter referred back to an occasion in 1915.

The format of every magazine featuring her artworks was nearly identical to that of the “London Life” magazines from the 1920’s through the early 1940’s. Type fonts are identical, spacing is identical, and the “feel” of the publications are identical. They were all published in London as well.

Her work is beautiful. Her Ladies are the most feminine creatures I’ve ever seen. The lingerie is exquisite. Wild makeup – jewels – embroidered stockings – outrageous and very sexy dresses – hats & veils - tiny feet in impossibly tall high-heels.

I would truly appreciate any information any of you can share about this seemingly unknown artist.
