Original Description
Earle Kulp Bergey’s Pretty As A Peacock, gracing the April 1935 cover of La Paree Stories magazine, is a dazzling exemplar of American pin-up and glamour illustration from the Art Deco era. The composition radiates sophistication and sensuality—a striking brunette draped in flowing, peacock-feathered attire poses theatrically against an ornate backdrop, embodying the lavish fantasy of 1930s escapism. Bergey’s style, characterized by bold lines, dynamic poses, and luminous skin tones, reflects the influence of Maxfield Parrish and J.C. Leyendecker, yet his confident embrace of eroticism set the tone for mid-century pulp art. Historically, this work captures the golden age of magazine illustration, where artists like Bergey bridged fine art and commercial appeal, their pieces now coveted by collectors of vintage Americana. The painting’s playful decadence and meticulous detailing cement its status as a period masterpiece, emblematic of pre-war optimism and the rise of pop-culture iconography.
For interiors, Pretty As A Peacock demands a space that mirrors its opulence—think Art Deco-inspired lounges, vintage-themed bedrooms, or creative studios. Hang it as a bold focal point above a velvet sofa or a gilded console, ensuring ample lighting to accentuate its radiant hues. Pair it with jewel-toned textiles (emerald, sapphire) or metallic accents (brass, chrome) to echo its peacock palette. A medium-to-large frame (24x36 inches or similar) suits its dramatic scale; opt for a sleek black or gold frame to honor its Deco roots. In offices, it injects whimsy into minimalist settings, sparking conversation amidst neutral walls. Avoid overcrowding—let its theatrical charm shine solo or alongside era-appropriate pieces like Lalique glass or geometric mirrors.
