This is a brillant post-Cubist work by Dutch-American illustrator Charles Verschuuren (1891–1955) had a long career. Starting out as a teenage cartoonist for local papers in Tilburg, Netherlands, Verschuuren trained in Amsterdam and Paris before creating hundreds of posters, fliers, and advertisements for large firms such as the printer Drukkerij Kotting (the works in this post come from this time). He moved to Cleveland in 1922 and then to New York, where he would illustrate 380 covers for the Brooklyn Eagle, design posters for the WPA,
