EDITORS COMMENTS
This sketch by Fish, titled "Joy St Helier Singing at Chez Victor's, London, 1926," portrays the enchanting jazz singer, Joy St Helier, in her element at the renowned Chez Victor's restaurant in London during the 1920s. The age of glamour and nightlife is brought to life through Fish's masterful use of Art Deco illustration, with its bold lines, rich colors, and intricate details. Joy St Helier, a talented pianist and singer, is depicted at the piano, her eyes closed in concentration as she pours her soul into her performance. The elegant curves of the piano keys mirror the fluidity of her voice, while the smoky atmosphere of the cabaret venue is suggested by the hazy, indistinct background. The sophisticated setting of Chez Victor's is further emphasized by the elegant patrons, dressed in the height of 1920s fashion, who can be seen in the background, engaged in animated conversation or simply enjoying their meals. The sketch captures the essence of the jazz age, with its emphasis on entertainment, glamour, and the allure of the nightlife scene. Joy St Helier's performance is a testament to the enduring power of music to transport us to another time and place, and Fish's skillful rendering of the scene is a visual feast for the eyes. This evocative image is a must-have for anyone interested in the history of jazz music, the 1920s, or the art of the era.
