WILDE, OSCAR Salome : a tragedy in one act.
New York E. P. Dutton & Co. , 1927 Hard Cover Very Good
Inventions by John Vassos. [10],57,[2] pages, 13 plates, cloth, very good. From the website of the Art Deco Society Northwest: "John Vassos (1898 - 1985) was born in Greece where he was artistically active from an early age. He drew political cartoons for a liberal newspaper for a number of years in his teens. In 1919 he came to Boston where he worked initially as a window washer and then as a sign painter. He was soon lettering placards and price tags and started attending the Fenway Art School where he studied under John Singer Sargent. He also began working as an assistant to a stage designer and continued working in theater. He moved to New York in 1924 and opened his own studio. He met his wife, Ruth, in 1924 who was a fashion adviser to Saks. His modern style was put to use on window displays for Macy's and murals for two large movie palaces. This led to more work in advertising. His work with modern style and shape became popular in advertising where he did illustrations for General Tire and cruise lines. The next step for many modern artists was Industrial Design. The concept of Art Deco was an offshoot of the notion of a marriage of art with industry. Vassos went on to design a face-lotion bottle that had one of the first screwtop caps. The lotion bottle quickly became more popular as a hip flask during Prohibition. He also designed the turnstile that is still in use in many subway stations. Vassos and his wife worked together on several books, where Ruth generally provided the text and John created the illustrations. From 1927 to 1935 Vassos illustrated nine books including Salome, Contempo, and Ultimo. As the market for extravagant books faded, Vassos devoted himself to industrial design for RCA. He worked as a designer for television and radio cabinets, jukeboxes, cameras, telephones, and fountain pens. He worked for RCA for over 40 years. In 1976 he oversaw the publication of the Dover title that brought his art to a new generation. He died in 1985."
