About the Artwork

Carnival light spills across Ralph Barton's Chauve Souris, his 1922 theatrical program cover now wrapped around your iPhone. The coral-clad performer tilts through teal medallions and striped canopy folds, frozen mid-pirouette in the haze of Balieff's Russian emigré revue. 

Barton drew for Vanity Fair, skewered celebrities with pen-and-ink malice, yet here he softened—marigold yellow pooling against magenta drapes, burnt sienna rosettes blooming where satire once bit. The harlequin below wears checkered motley beneath a stovepipe hat, his gaze lost in the carousel's amber-gold spin.

Pattern collides with pattern: zebra flanks, polka dots, tented stripes. And this phone case holds Jazz Age Broadway in miniature, every decorative flourish a whisper from the speakeasy wings where applause still echoes.

Artist Biography

Ralph Waldo Emerson Barton (1891–1931) was an American cartoonist, caricaturist, and illustrator who distilled the glamour and neurosis of the Jazz Age into razor-sharp line. Born in Kansas City and forged in New York, Barton became one of the defining visual chroniclers of 1920s celebrity culture, immortalising figures from Charlie Chaplin and Lillian Gish to Picasso and Freud. A founding advisory editor and stockholder of The New Yorker, his work also dominated Vanity Fair, Judge, and Harper’s Bazaar. Behind the wit lay volatility. Awarded France’s Legion of Honour, Barton’s brilliance burned fast, leaving an era etched in ink and melancholy.
