No way! That is sooo cool! My other fave forties illustrator and how-to artist is Arthur Zaidenberg but i'm SURE he's out of print. H e did these stacked black men in a totally Deco style always using the side of the charcoal... all his woman have a smoky slaternly quality but the drawing is crisp though the patterning gets almost cubist. Can't rember who did the Walter Foster figure books that are in every art store, the thirty-something nudes with head scarves on, so elegant and sexy yet somehow subburban. Tracing those in my youth was certainly formative.
