Decades ahead of his time, legendary artist\\u002F illustrator Bob Peak executes a football illustration that looks as much like a color field painting done by French post-impressionist painter Vuillard. Peak demonstrates his use of extreme composition by leaving the bottom 3\\u002F4 of the painting to the football field and only a thin part of the top to the football players. In 1964, this was a breakthrough and radical style. Signed lower right. His consummate draughtsmanship may not be immediately appreciated. On close inspection, we see how deftly each figure is rendered....even if it is done in a loose style. Done on assignment for Sports Illustrated Magazine. We Ship Internationally ! Framed Size: 30. 25 x 40.75
