Looking back in time, and forward in time. The world before "the war to end all wars," and the consequences to people's lives and the history produced. Most of these characters lived during, and some after 1912, but all reflect the time they lived in. On the nearest bench: The fictional story of - Downton Abbey which came on the scene in 1912. The Earl of Grantham and his wife, and their domestic servants and the events that would take place and alter events in their lives forever. Walking towards them is a burlesque & Ziegfield Follies actress - Fanny Brice, 1891-1951 (she's wearing a costume coming into vogue) made famous by Barbra Streisand in "Funny Girl." To the right is the famous painter Monet, 1840-1926. The Girl with the Bike: fictional character Anne of Green Gables written in 1908 by Lucy Maud Montgomery. To her left: the famous and the vertically challenged: French chef & innovator Auguste Escoffier, 1846-1935. He needed to wear elevated shoes to reach the stove. He'd become known for establishing the importance of Lobster Thermidor, Béarnaise sauce, Bechamel, and Hollandaise sauces. He created Peach Melba. To his left would be a couple that would emerge later: Prince Charles and Lady Diana with young Prince William. 24" x 48" X 3/4" (unframed) acrylic on canvas.
