1937 college humor magazine from USC. The cover drawing is by Maurice Martines, who later changed his name to Maurice Martiné. There has been a bit of mystery on whether or not his name was Martinez, with a "Z" or not. Some speculated he changed it to avoid discrimination of having a hispanic name. It actually turned out to be that he thought Martiné had panache and was more suitable for a designer.



During his studies at USC, Martiné studied under Glen Lukens.  And last month at Bonhams a Lukens bowl from the Martiné estate came up for sale.

His Eames lounge chair and ottoman were also up for grabs.
