She starred in 28 films.<br /> Ehrlich, Early, or Mansfield -- makes her hard to pin down.<br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.stanford.edu/~gdegroat/AJ/home.htm">Alice Joyce</a><br /> ...by the age of 13 Alice was working as a telephone operator. Business was slow during the summers, so she turned to modeling, and her striking looks soon made her in demand among some of the top commercial artists of the day.<br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.baseball-fever.com/showthread.php?t=21998">baseball-fever.com</a> (Harrison Fisher model: info on blog - fact or rumor?)<br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.flapperjane.com/July%20August/zelda.htm">Zelda Sayre Fitzgerald</a><br /> Harrison Fisher's portrait, freely drawn with cont? crayon, may reflect the tension he perceived in Zelda Fitzgerald.<br /> Fisher depicted her in profile, emphasizing the structure of her nose and chin, and diverting her "hawk's eyes" away from the viewer. Energetic, almost chaotic lines layered over her torso convey her passion?and perhaps even her delicate mental state. Despite outrageous behavior, Zelda was widely praised for her spontaneity, intellect, and dignity.<br /> The angular features that made Zelda Sayre a stunning beauty when F. Scott Fitzgerald married her in 1920 are accentuated. Fisher, who also drew Scott Fitzgerald, must have been attracted not only to her beauty but to her enigmatic character.<br /> Anxious to compete with her husband's success, Zelda pursued numerous creative avenues of her own?ballet, painting and drawing, and writing. None of these efforts met with the recognition she craved.<br /> Harrison Fisher (1877-1934)<br /> Sanguine cont? crayon on paperboard, 1927<br /> National Portrait Gallery, Smithsonian Institution; gift of her daughter, Mrs. Scottie Smith<br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.npg.si.edu/cexh/eye/html/newthemes.htm">F. Scott Fitzgerald</a><br /> Handsome, socially ebullient, and intellectually vivacious, F. Scott Fitzgerald embodied the spirit of the Roaring Twenties. He staked his claim as the voice of his generation with his first novel, This Side of Paradise (1920), and later with The Great Gatsby (1925). In late 1926, Fitzgerald was invited to create a movie script in Hollywood. Harrison Fisher captures his self-assurance and boyish good looks as he arrived in California. Fitzgerald's stay in Hollywood would be marred by drunken antics that tarnished his reputation. After eight weeks, his screenplay was rejected. Before heading back east, he and Zelda pushed their hotel furniture into a pile in the middle of the room, leaving their unpaid bills on top.<br /> <br /> The popular heir of celebrated artist Charles Dana Gibson, Fisher was widely sought after as a magazine illustrator and society portraitist. The artist detailed Fitzgerald's high forehead, wavy hair, and mouth with rich cont? crayon. "The mouth," wrote Ernest Hemingway about Fitzgerald, "worried you until you knew him and then it worried you more."<br /> Harrison Fisher (1877-1934)<br /> Sanguine cont? crayon and white paint on paperboard, 1927<br /> National Portrait Gallery, Smithsonian Institution; gift of his daughter, Mrs. Scottie Smith<br /> <br /> ~~~~~<br /> <br /> Among the prominent stage, film, musical, and literary portraits he painted were: Billie Burke, Marguerite Clark, George Cohan, Jan Cowl, Marion Davies, Mr. &amp; Mrs. Scott Fitzgerald, Elsie Ferguson, Helen Hamilton, Justine Johnston, Alice Joyce, Bessie Love, Pola Negri, Anna Nielson, Julia Sanderson, and Olive Thomas.<br /> <br /> ~~~~~<br /> <br /> FISHER, HARRISON: (1877-1934) In his heydey, was called the "King of Magazine-Cover Artists." Embodied the beauty of the American Woman and many of his illustrations were reproduced for postcards by Reinthal and Newman. Very popular and beautiful. His work much in demand!</td> </tr></tbody></table></div> <br /> </body> </html>
