About the Item
Medium: Oil on Board
Signature: Signed Lower Left
Original cover illustration for The Saturday Evening Post, May 30, 1959.
The Post described, “It is so refreshing to get away from it all, to glide out through the far-horizoned open spaces on the super fastways. If there is a slight hitch in the gliding, how soul-calming is to savor at leisure the beauty of the land. Now the man with a camera—especially a motion-picture camera— can trace out the long course of ribboning highway where countless other travelers bask in the same motionless peace. Now the man with a putter can putter to his heart’s desire. And all along the relaxed miles strangers can strike up happy friendships, as people do on shipboard. Artist Thornton Utz agrees that the man immobilized beside the resume-speed sign is un-co-operative and is muttering, “X!*#X!!” If the approaching storm lets go before he puts his top up, he can say that again.”
(The Saturday Evening Post, May 30, 1959, p. 3)

- Father and Son, Women's Day Magazine Cover, January 1945By Spencer Douglass CrockwellLocated in Fort Washington, PAMedium: Oil on Board Signature: Signed Lower Right Father and Son, Women's Day Magazine Cover, January 1945 The illustrations of Douglas Crockwell were often simply signed “Douglass” to avoid confusion with the signature of Norman Rockwell, particularly since their work was being published on the covers of The Saturday Evening Post during the same period. Necessary too, because Crockwell also worked very realistically, and like Rockwell, was particularly good with children. Their backgrounds, however, were entirely different. Crockwell was born in Chicago, Ohio, and took his degree in Science at Washington University, followed by study at the Academy of Fine Arts in Chicago and the St. Louis School of Fine Arts. He received his first commission for a cover for The Saturday Evening Post in 1933, and this was followed by many more, as well as work for other periodicals and a long list of national advertisers. During the ‘thirties, he also completed Post Office murals in Vermont, New York State and Mississippi, and began to work on experimental animated films. The films, and inventing a “pan-stereo” viewing...Category
