About the Item
Illustration legend Bob Peak depicts a boxer that has fallen to the matt and is being given the 10-count by the referee. Peak captures that peak moment of drama and then exaggerates the subject's physical forms to push the narrative in the most dramatic way. It's a motion picture in one frame. His use of reds and blacks adds to the gravity of the situation. His delineation of the figures shows great movement and reminds us of the German Expressionist painters. This was an assignment piece for Esquire Magazine. Visually, it is far ahead of its time in 1961 and looks quite contemporary. Of course, there are no contemporary artists today who could paint, draw and design as good as the legend. Signed lower left. Tag on verso. Unframed. Some stretcher indentations, slight craquelure, and a 3-inch superficial dent. All condition issues are mostly visible with raking light or on close inspection. Otherwise, work presents quite well. Best viewed with a top key light. The most light you put on the painting the more the color comes out.

There are a lot of people in the art world today who dismiss illustrators are being commercial solely because the artists identified as being commercial artists and that the work was done on assignment.

Football Team Sports Action Painting Abstract Expressionism, Sports Illustrated
By Bob Peak
Located in Miami, FL
Football players cloaked in oversized Browns jackets are seen from behind running off the field. Always the graphic innovator, legendary illustrator Bob Peak creates a radical composition by leaving the bottom two-thirds of the picture plane empty of detail. To convey a sense of motion, Peak uses broad strokes of paint similar to the action painters Franz Kline and Willem de Kooning, who were the dominant force in the fine art world in the 1960s. Clearly, one can see a cross-over influence from Fine Art to commercial illustration as Peak strikes a balance between abstract versus figurative art. This work was done on an assignment for Sports Illustrated...
