Marjorie Organ Henri (December 3, 1886 – 1930) American illustrator, cartoonist and caricaturist born in New York City[1] (or possibly Ireland[2][3])

Organ briefly attended Hunter College before dropping out at age 17 to study with illustrator Dan McCarthy [4] and then work as a cartoonist in William Randolph Hearst's New York Journal. There she authored several comic strips, the longest running being Reggie and the Heavenly Twins. Organ also published two strips The Man Hater Club and Strange What a Difference a Mere Man Makes [5] in the New York World. Sometime around 1908 she began attending lectures by Robert Henri at the New York School of Art. Shortly thereafter, in 1908 Organ married painter Henri. Although she continued to produce drawings and paintings after that she was more frequently the model for Henri and spent much of her life orchestrating their social life.[6]

Portraits of Marjorie Organ Henri by Robert Henri

Henri also painted at least two portraits of Marjorie Organ's sister, Violet Organ.[8]

  • Viv (Miss Violet Organ), oil painting, 1919, private collection[9]
  • Violet Organ, watercolor, (1921) private collection[10]

Armory Show of 1913

Organ was one of the artists who exhibited at this landmark show. Although she was already married to Henri she showed as Marjorie Organ. The show included several of her drawings listed as Drawings Nos. 1-6 ($50 each).[11]

Robert Henri died of cancer in 1929 and she followed him a year later, also of cancer.
