Description
Monte Crews Liberty Magazine Cover Preliminary Original Art (McFadden Publ., 1939). In many aspects, this large-scale conceptual piece is funnier and more engaging than its published version. Crews' figures are more cartoony (less realistic) than those that landed on the February-of-'39 cover, and the boy's sense of indignation here seems angrier. (You'd be angry, too, if some wisenheimer magician pulled a pair of pink bloomers out from under your sweater.) Then, too, there's the rubbery fluidity of Crews' layered watercolor style, as opposed to the more formal look he achieved with oils on the final painting. Watercolors on heavy illustration board. Image area, 19.5" x 25.5". Excellent condition.Auction Info
