Enchanting Imagination: The Objets d’Art of André Chervin and Carvin French Jewelers introduces André Chervin’s miniature masterpieces—one-of-a-kind lamps, clocks, boxes, personal accessories, and table decorations fashioned from gold, silver, gems and minerals, like rubies, diamonds, sapphires, jade, lapis lazuli, amethyst and quartz. Lavishly illustrated with 110 color photographs, the exhibition catalogue explores Chrevin's captivating treasures conceived and fabricated under his watchful eye. Each object evolved over the course of many years, taking 5, 10, even 25 years to complete to perfection.

Unbeknownst to his many fans, Chervin also created this collection of precious objets d’art, dating from 1957 to 2013.

One of the most prolific and successful artists of the Golden Age of American Illustration, J.C. Leyendecker captivated audiences throughout the first half of the 20th century.
Leyendecker is best known for his creation of the archetype of the fashionable American male with his advertisements for Arrow Collar. These images sold to an eager public the idea of a glamorous lifestyle, the bedrock upon which modern advertising was built. He also was the creator of instantly recognizable icons—such as the New Year’s baby and the Santa Claus that are to this day an integral part of the lexicon of Americana—and was commissioned to paint more Saturday Evening Post covers than any other artist. Chapters include:
The Leyendecker Life
The Leyendecker Look
The Art of Advertising in a Product-Oriented Society
Master of the Magazine Cover
Book Illustration
Posters: The People’s Art
And more!
Leyendecker lived for most of his adult life with Charles Beach, the Arrow Collar Man, on whom the stylish men in his artwork were modeled. The first book about the artist in more than 30 years, J.C. Leyendecker features his masterworks, rare paintings, studies, and other artwork, including the 322 covers he did for the Post.
Oversized, and filled with hundreds of popular and rare images, with a revealing text that delves into both his artistic evolution and personal life, J.C. Leyendecker: American Imagist restores this iconic image maker’s rightful position in the pantheon of great American illustrators and artists.
Under Cover: J.C. Leyendecker and American Masculinity examines the work and influence of J.C. Leyendecker, a preeminent illustrator and commercial artist who helped shape American visual culture in the first three decades of the 20th century and whose illustrations for a mainstream audience often had unspoken queer undertones.
