String Fever (marionette): Black coat with green lapels
1934-1943
This lanky, jazz-age character looks like he just stepped out of a 1930s cartoon, complete with a dangling cigarette and a plaid cap tilted at a cool angle. Designed as a marionette for a production called 'String Fever,' the figure sports an incredibly elongated body with visible joints at the knees and elbows, hinting at how it would jerk and dance on strings. The floating head to the right gives us a close-up of his moody, green-eyed expression, making him look like a stylishly grumpy puppet ready to perform. The bold black suit with polka-dot lapels and a striped shirt screams 1930s fashion, capturing a moment of whimsical design history.
