Amos Sewell
The Audience, Saturday Evening Post Cover

1956

About the Item

Medium: Oil on Board Signature: Signed Lower Left Original cover illustration for The Saturday Evening Post, July 28, 1956. The Post described, “The cows don't realize it is rude to stare at a person without saying anything. They are reflecting that men seem to do goofier things than any other animals, and are keeping their thoughts to themselves, as they dont speak English. Does the surveyor fear the cows? Only mildly; mostly it is women who get conniption fits from cows. But those boring eyes are addling his concentration so that he knows not whether he is adding or subtracting. If the editor who is writing these words had a cow staring over his shoulder, he would, in the long run, scream. Amos Sewell’s cowscape emphasizes that cows are remarkable starers. Did you ever notice a herd of them parked on a hill, every one peering fixedly in the same direction? What would they be looking at? Tomorrow?” (The Saturday Evening Post, July 28, 1956, p. 3)
