What a wonderful and rare offering I have the honor of listing today. An original watercolor mid-century New York advertising art creation from my own Kansas City native great Harry Fredman (1923-1999). The truly unique opportunity you have here is whether to display as is for its advertizing historical value, or choose to keep, or gift, for the opportunity to personalize Fredman's work with your own life. The original creation was painted with a 4.5" x 6.75" rectangle blank which was filled with the ad information of cruise lines. I believe this ran in either Cosmopolitan or Good Housekeeping. Ideal opportunity to insert your own 5 x 7 personal travel photo or cruise experience and have a personalized Harry Fredman original. The art work is 10 x 14 and framed to 16 x 20. I cannot speak enough of Fredman's accomplishments. The largest ad agency studio in New York by age 25. A true life original "Man Men" character. Among his many clients were Amoco, Schlitz, Pall Mall, Beauty Rest, T W A, Eastern, & Pullman
He was named art director of the year in New York, Chicago and Kansas City, and his work also appeared in Ladies Home Journal, Colliers, McCalls & Red Book. This wonderful rare piece found it's way back to Kansas City to live with me. As always with my unique art offerings I utilize the "Best Offer" format for all fair buyer considerations, offer careful packing and free shipping and a worthy charity donation.
