The Best Of The Worst
Photographer Nadine Boughton mashes up '50s men's adventure magazines with '50s Better Homes and Gardens to make thrilling scenes of animal attacks and daring escapades. I am so jealous I didn't have this idea first.

The Best Of The Worst
Margaret Brundage broke two taboos at the same time with her iconic covers for Weird Tales magazine in the 1930s. She was a woman working in the male-dominated world of fantasy art, and her covers were racy and titillating, even for the pulp era.

We recently took a look at the pulp magazine’s treatment of blacks – a wildly racist and predictable trope of these old rags. But island natives and African cannibals were by no means the only threat to a mid-century male’s psyche. These action/adventure magazines were littered will all manner of threats: Commies, the Japanese, Hoodlum … Continue reading "When Nazis Attack! Men’s Action Mags and Hitler’s Perverted Minions"
Artist: H. Anetsberger of Munich I have spent the last week intently pouring through digital copies of Jugend magazine, held by Heidelberg University. So far, the university has put online the years 1897 through 1927. This was a weekly art, humor and human interest magazine. I have looked at so many illustrations, I now see everything with an illustrated eye - our cats have black lines around them, as does the furniture, the trees, and each piece of the gravel in the drive. It's a very curious phenomenon. This blog is about some of the German art that made me do a double-take. The magazine often depicted centaurs. I exclaimed when I saw the one above; not what you would expect from watching Disney's animated movie Fantasia. Artist: Gertrud Pfeiffer-Kohrt This one of God painting the animals made me smile and look closely. Artist: G. Hirth The magazine during its Art Nouveau period often printed art of mermaids. I thought this sea nymph so poignant, it would make a good ad for Green Peace. "What is she thinking?" I wondered. I don't read German, so I never discovered. Artist: August Geigenberger I thought this print would look nice on my bathroom wall until I saw her misshapen face. People lost their teeth early in those days, so her face probably wasn't out-of-the-ordinary to a viewer of the time. Maybe. Artist: Fritz Erler Jugend published nude art in every issue until the late twenties. I suspect some type of law was passed that curtailed it. I think she's supposed to be illuminated by moonlight, which lies behind her. I refer to her as "jaundice girl." Still, she's rather lovely. Artist: Richard Muller (Dresden) Mice as art rather than as an illustration for a children's book. Artist: Richard Muller (Dresden) I'm almost certain the mice in this bag of maize were not to illustrate an article on the protection of food storage and health. The toadstool mother looks especially forlorn to have such a family - but it certainly got my attention. Artist: Paul Rieth (Munich) The advent of the automobile inspired this artist. Note how upset the subjects are - they are just realizing the speed kills. Artist: Alois Wierer This does look like an illustration for a children's book, but who knows? It's called the Hex Garden. I did say that it was intended to be a magazine of humor. This might have been published after the magazine ceased printing nude art. World War I brought a change to the magazine. The yearly flamboyant Carnival issues (which I will address in another blog) ceased. The rest of 1914 though about 1916 were intensely patriotic. The German eagle protecting the Fatherland. Note the carving of the Valkyrie in the cliff. Artist: Leo Putz This depicted the successful invasion of Russia. I'd never thought of the Russian bear as being a polar bear. Women's skirts were shortened during the war to save fabric, but not this high. A bit of humor around 1917. She's actually wearing buttoned leggings for modesty's sake. After the Great War, humor returned in full force to the pages of Jugend. I think this was published for one of the carnival issues. There was feminism in Germany. Note that the man bows his head before the great mother, but the woman raises her arms in adoration. This is from the early 20s. Artist: Leo Putz I'm leaving the most surprising for last. There was a third showing a snail man and a snail woman making love, which I decided not to publish. Artist: Leo Putz Easier for my sensibilities to show a man and a mermaid making love. Artist: Max Klinger
