:))....VERY NICE!..
site note but i was just thinking how artists no longer have as tight knit communities like brandywine and how they have been mostly priced out of the whatever communities they create. everyone's familiar with DUMBO/Williamsburgn and that occuring but brandywine - how many artists can afford to live there now.
On 67th near central park west, i believe there was a building that was purpose built for artists and illustrators (high north windows, for example) somewhere along the line someone broke with the intent and now it's all Wallstreet and other money. Even the studios in carnegie hall - expressely reserved for artists, have been converted..
sorry side rant!
I have to make it to brandywine someday.
Thanks for posting this. Tony Sarg is one of my favourite artists.
There is a real need for a big fat book on him. In the meantime, his collection of drawings of New York in the 1920s, "Up and Down New York", was reprinted a couple of years ago and is well worth buying.
Reminds me of Heinrich Kley's drawings, wonderful
