Two original designs by Locher has shown up in the back of the cardboards mounts. They are two theatrical costume designs, one of them a Burlesque costu…me for miss Irene Bordoni (1885-1953). Locher worked in Broadway as costume designer, he worked in Hitchy-Koo [1917], starred by Irene Bordoni. Also, in 'Le Feu', we undercover the original marginalia by Locher and colour tests. When framed, these marginalia where covered by the black painting on the glass. So, probably the frames are designed by Locher. Provenance, heirs of Fernanda Wanamaker, daughter of Lewis Rodman Wanamaker (1863-1928). CONDITION. Both paintings are sewn to a cardboard, with acidification. They should be unstitched from the original mounts, in order to preserve both, silk painting and cardbord drawings, in better condition.The cardboards are in fragil condition. The most acidified and fragile one, is the one support of 'le Feu'. Both fabrics have loose threads, not affecting the paintings. They are covered and protected by the frames. The frames shows minors defects and lacks, as shown in pictures. Robert Evans Locher was an american Art Deco interior decorator and stage designer. He manteined a long-term romantic relationship with avant-garde artist Charles Demuth. His work was included in the Murals by American Painters and Photographers (1932, MoMA).
