Shaped by these influences, Plummer depicts American beauties in an urban setting, as stylish, flattened figures, defined by sophisticated use of line, color, and pattern, as in this drawing for Vanity Fair. Plummer made cover designs and illustrations in the 1920s and 1930s for magazines of sophisticated fashion such as Vogue and Vanity Fair, as well as publications with broader appeal such as Life, Women's Home Companion, Shadowland, and the New York Tribune. Caption label from exhibit Drawn to Purpose--Magazine Covers and Cartoons: Urban Beauties. The stylishly dressed figures in this cover design by Ethel Plummer feature an emerging, slimmer model of American womanhood in the early twentieth century. Her use of line, color, and pattern in defining forms show the influence of modern American and European art. Productive, pro-suffrage, and known for her magazine covers and illustrations, Plummer was the first woman to publish a cartoon in the New Yorker. Inscribed above image: Vanity Fair.
