Gertrude Abercrombie (February 17, 1909 – July 3, 1977) was an American painter based in Chicago. Called "the queen of the Bohemian artists", Abercrombie was involved in the Chicago jazz scene and was friends with musicians such as Dizzy Gillespie, Charlie Parker, and Sarah Vaughan, whose music inspired her own creative work. Abercrombie was born on February 17, 1909, in Austin, Texas. Her parents, Tom and Lula Janes Abercrombie, were traveling opera singers who happened to be in Austin on the day of Gertrude's birth. The family lived in Berlin in 1913 to further her mother's career, but the beginning of World War I caused the family to move back to the United States. Upon their return the family lived in Aledo, Illinois, before settling in Hyde Park, Chicago in 1916. She was raised in a strict Christian Scientist environment at home. After studying figure drawing briefly at the Art Institute of Chicago, she took a year-long course in commercial art at the American Academy of Art in Chicago, leading to her first job drawing gloves for Mesirow Department Store advertisements. She married music critic Frank Sandiford, with Dizzy Gillespie performing at the wedding. The couple were active in the bohemian lifestyle and jazz scene of Chicago hence their connection with Gillespie. In 1951, Abercrombie painted an 8"x11" work called Alderman Merriam's Shells, which she gifted to a doctor for a surgical procedure. It stayed in the doctor's family for 75 years until a collector spotted it at an estate sale in Kalamazoo, Michigan in July 2026 and paid $30 for it. After restoration it sold at an auction for $1.35 million on October 1, 2026, a new record for Abercrombie's art work. By the late 1950s, her health declined as a result of financial trouble, alcoholism, and arthritis, and she became reclusive. In the final year of her life, a major retrospective of her work was held at the Hyde Park Art Center. She died in Chicago on July 3, 1977.

C1957 Drager Fabius M. A portable field anesthesia machine designed for use by the bundeswehr and German civil defense forces. This particular one an export model sent to a hospital in Peru. I don’t think it was ever used as it is in pristine condition and has survived time very well.

Johannes Itten :
Variation 3, 1957

Oil on canvas or masonite

A landmark study in geometric abstraction and color theory.
Part of a sequence of mid-century "Variations" (i.e. Variation 2) where Itten revisited core perceptual color experiments in abstract grid formats.

More in the alt text 👇
Through interlocking squares and nested grid structures, Itten applies his signature principles of color contrast and depth perception. Vibrant yellows and muted reds push forward against deep purples and black frames, creating dynamic spatial tension across a flat surface.

In Capote vs the Swans, Tom Hollander plays the self-destructive Capote with a convincing pathos that Al-Anon members will quickly recognize. But Truman was tiny. There’s an elfin charm & vulnerability to his physicality. It must have disarmed people, making them forget the true nature of a pixie.

Vintage poster encouraging recruits for the Royal Naval reserve, c1957. The significance of the image is that the individual in the centre of the group of three is my father in law who is now 84 years old and was in the Royal Naval Reserves.
