Joe Bowler
American, b. 1928 Oil on Gesso Panel
24 1/4 × 30 1/4 in Most likely for a magazine like Redbook or perhaps the Saturday Evening Post interior editorial spread. The empty space to the right was for the art director to surprint type. and acts as a compositional balance to the female figure and the lower torso of the man behind her. The woman with her eyes shut seems to be floating in a dreamy verdant world. The Gesso Panel is quite heavy and dense and feels more like masonite. In 1992 Joe Bowler was inducted into the Illustrators Hall of Fame. Signature: The work is Signed Bowler center right |
