Item Overview

Description

Gordon Conway (American, 1894-1956)
Three jazz age theatre designs, probably depicting Dorothy Dickson, pen and watercolour, two signed in pencil, the largest 14" x 10 ½", unframed (3).
Gordon Conway was most well-known as a costume designer for films including Confetti (1927), Sir or Madam (1928) and The Return of the Rat (1928). However, she also endlessly produced posters, magazine illustrations, fashion and theatre designs that caught the excited mood of the twenties, and typified the elegant chic of fashion from the period.
