Bob PeakRacing Cars in Bright Red, Sports Illustrated Illustration - Sports Car - Pink 1970
1970
About the Item
Punchy reds and zestful hot pinks convey a sense of intense motion and engine heat. The art is as much as color-field painting as a narrative work. It was a commissioned illustration for Sports Illustrated Magzine via Peak's famous rep Harvy Kahn. Bob Peak shows a close-up portrait of the helmeted drive and a wide side view of the car. The wide image of the car is precisely rendered on paper and pasted to the canvas which makes this a mixed-media work. This demonstrates Peak's creativity but doing the car in inks gave the artist more exactitude to the mechanics of the car technically correct. Signed lower right. The frame is a period frame and its joints are a bit loose. The plexiglass has a few skuffs.

- Football Team Sports Action Painting Abstract Expressionism, Sports IllustratedBy Bob PeakLocated in Miami, FLFootball plays 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...Category
