Joe Bowler
Woman on Porch Feed Her Cats at Early Morning, Mid Century

1960s circa

About the Item

A milk truck is seen caressed in the golden light of early morning as a woman bends down to feed her cat. The artist depicts a precious moment as an older woman reaching down to pick up the milk and eggs deposited on her front porch. The delivery truck is seen off the side as it drives away into the golden light of early morning. It is not totally clear whether the woman is trying to pet a scratching cat as well, as she leans down. Clearly, the cat is away that the milk is there. This is a full story being told in one picture. It captures Americana in the artist's formidable academic style where the lighting, figures and architectural details are masterfully described. Bowler was a top illustrator. This was most likely done for a major newsstand magazine like the Saturday Evening Post Joe Bowler was a for-hire artist and this work was clearly done on assignment most likely for a major newsstand magazine.

  • Winter Evening Fifth Avenue - New York at Night
    By Ernest Fiene
    Located in Miami, FL
    Ernest Fiene depicts Fifth Avenue looking down from 57th Street with an unobstructed view of the Empire State Building. The absence of newer glass and steel architecture gives the painting the charm of old New York. The artist captures a dark, moody blue sky as light bounces back from the clouds. This contrasts with the somewhat haunting yellow glow given to pedestrians and street traffic. The people have somewhat of a zombie quality akin to George Tooker. Best viewed with a top and direct gallery light...
