Vintage Coles Phillips art nouveau shampooing ad Postcard

From a 1917 advertisement for coconut oil for shampooing. A woman in the bathroom, in front of the mirror, holding her red hair in typical art nouveau style. About the artist: Clarence Coles Phillips (October 1880 – June 13, 1927) was an American artist and illustrator who signed his early works C. Coles Phillips, but after 1911 worked under the abbreviated name, Coles Phillips. He is known for his stylish images of women and a signature use of negative space in the paintings he created for advertisements and the covers of popular magazines. He took night classes for three months at the Chase School of Art in Manhattan —his only formal artistic training—before establishing his own advertising agency. One of Phillips' employees was the young Edward Hopper, his former classmate.
