Lost Hollywood

This 1926 pastel by Cardwell Higgens was created for an exhibitor’s book produced by Paramount Pictures to promote their silent film star Florence Vidor.

Along with its companion work “Ye Chiselers” (previously sold through Grapefruit Moon Gallery), Clive created this masterwork for the tavern of The Masquers Club, a historic and fascinating Hollywood institution. A reclining redheaded flapper is seen consorting with a Persian genie of sorts, illustrating the verse from the Rubaiyat which is inscribed on the mural.
