About the Item
Original cover illustration for The Saturday Evening Post, November 13, 1948
The Post described, “Artist Stevan Dohanos felt like a baseball coach who had everything he needed except a pitcher. His supermarket painting was done, except for one major gap. He lacked a model for the hero making a single purchase, who finds himself stymied behind shoppers with three dozen items to be checked. Dohanos sighed and went to Martha’s Vineyard for a summer vacation. On the street there he spotted a vacationist in shorts and a fishing hat. “Hey, wait!” the artist yelled, and explained his problem. The stranger said sure, he’d pose, and went home to get his city clothes on. He’s been in the papers before. The gentleman stalled in the shopping traffic is the famous war correspondent and pride of Yoakum, Texas, H.R. Knickerbocker.”

Stevan Dohanos
Stevan Dohanos was born in the steel mill town of Lorain, Ohio, on May 18, 1907. Dohanos studied at the Cleveland School of the Arts. He is best known for the covers, more than 100, he painted for The Saturday Evening Post magazine during the 1940s and 1950s. His work appeared frequently on its covers. Most of his illustrations depicted common scenes of everyday post-war American life, such as a mobile home complete with pink flamingo, a gas station attendant inflating a child's toy or a souped-up motorcycle in the owner's driveway. His works are often compared to those of Norman Rockwell. Dohanos was influenced by The Eight namely Henri, Sloan, Glackens, Shinn, Prendergast, Davies, Lawson and Luks. During the 1960s, his designs were used on 25 postage stamps. From 1961–63, he served as a President of the Society of Illustrators and in 1971 was elected to the Society's Hall of Fame. He was a founder of the Famous Artists School in Westport. Dohanos died on July 2, 1994, in Westport, Connecticut.
