Nathan Margolis

Vogue Says (Woman Sewing)

Nathan Margolis' original lithograph, Vogue Says dates from around 1950. The subject of sewing was not unfamiliar to the artist. His wife, Adele Margolis, was an accomplished tailor and wrote a popular 1964 book on the subject entitled, The Complete Book of Tailoring for Women who like to Sew. It was also illustrated by Nathan Margolis. Vogue Says thus probably depicts the artist’s wife. It is a most beautiful figure study by this artist.

This original lithograph is printed upon fine, laid paper and with full, deckled margins as published in New York around 1950. It is signed and titled by the artist in pencil along the lower margin. Vogue Says is a fine, original example of the American lithographic art created by the Philadelphia artist, Nathan Margolis.
