Revere Wistehuff
Baiting The Hook

About the Item

Medium: Oil on Board Signature: Signed Lower Right Revere F. Wistehuff was one of the central group of cover artists in the New Rochelle Art Colony in the 1920's, '30s, '40s which included the Leyendeckers, Norman Rockwell and Walter Beach Humphrey. "Wistey" did covers for virtually all of the national magazines, including The Saturday Evening Post, This Week, Liberty, Collier's, and many secondary publications, such as the Canadian MacLean's, The Country Guide, The New York Herald Tribune Magazine, Everybody's Weekly, Capper's Farmer, American Girl, and People's Home Journal. Among his many advertising accounts were the John Hancock Mutual Life Insurance Company, Western Union, Beck Beer and Gulf Oil. In most of his work, Wistehuff followed the same style and family-oriented subject matter that marked the approach of his good friend, Norman Rockwell.

  • Eavesdropping on Grownups, Saturday Evening Post Cover
    By George Hughes
    Located in Fort Washington, PA
    Signature: Signed Lower Left Original cover illustration for The Saturday Evening Post, December 2, 1950 The Post described, “One night Art Editor Stuart was having a party. His three boys came downstairs four times and were conducted back up by their mother. The next time they came down, Papa Stuart waxed excited, firmly conveyed them aloft himself, and they did not show up again. Stuart was warmly congratulated on his success as a father. When the party broke up, the youngest lad was found asleep on the stairs. Stuart claims that the older ones never did come down again, but this was probably because they merely went to sleep in their beds from natural causes. George Hugehes has painted some other people’s offspring, to get over the idea that children all over America are eager to improve their minds by listening to sophisticated conversation.” (The Saturday Evening Post, December 2, 1950, p. 3) Exhibited: Norman Rockwell Museum...
