EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the playful and whimsical side of James Montgomery Flagg, one of America's most renowned artists and illustrators. The image, taken at the Illustrators Ball in New York City in 1916, shows Flagg dressed as a clown, a fitting costume for the fancy dress event. Flagg, best known for his powerful and evocative propaganda posters during World War I, was a master of capturing emotion and expression through his art. In this portrait, however, Flagg is the one being captured, as he dons the red nose, oversized shoes, and colorful attire of a circus clown. His wife, whose identity remains unknown, stands by his side, dressed in a elegant white gown, adding a striking contrast to her husband's playful outfit. The photograph, with its high contrast and sharp detail, perfectly preserves the moment, allowing us to see Flagg in a new light and offering a glimpse into the personal lives of these artistic luminaries. The Illustrators Ball was an annual event held in New York City, bringing together some of the most talented and influential artists and illustrators of the time. It was an opportunity for them to let their hair down, put on elaborate costumes, and enjoy each other's company outside of the studio. This photograph of Flagg and his wife is a testament to the creativity, camaraderie, and sense of fun that defined the Illustrators Ball and the artistic community of early 20th century New York.
