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.
