Description: KEWPIES – DOLLS & ART OF ROSE O’NEILL & JOSEPH L. KALLUS by John Axe, Hobby House Press, Inc., Maryland, 1987. This book is a truly unique reference volume that addresses the many creations of Rose O’Neill, the ‘Mother of Kewpie,’ and Joseph L. Kallus, who translated O’Neill’s original artwork into dolls and figurines. In more than 200 black-and-white and color illustrations from Kallus’ extensive files and records – including many illustrations never before published – this collector’s reference work details all the many aspects of the creative output of Rose O’Neill and Joseph L. Kallus, including Kewpie in dozens of different forms and materials.” The information in this text is invaluable! “Rose O’Neill’s most famous creation – Kewpie – originated as illustrations in the Woman’s Home Companion in December of 1909. For many years she was commissioned to create Kewpie illustrations for various publications and for advertisements. A market was seen for three-dimensional likenesses of Kewpie and Joseph L. Kallus, a 17-year-old art student, was hired to sculpt Kewpies as doss and figurines in 1912.” This scarce text COVERS BY CHAPTER: The History of Rose O’Neill and Joseph Kallus; Rose O’Neill, The Curator of Kewpie; Rose O’Neill’s Kewpieville Stories; Joseph Kallus, The Interpreter of Kewpie; Kewpies for Collectors; Kewpie Action Figures; Kewpie Doodle Dog; Jasperware Objects; China Objects; The Dolls of Rose O’Neill and Joseph L.
