This beautiful work by the great American Illustrator Bob Peak has a sister work in the collection of the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art in Los Angles. We feel that our work has a little more detail, complexity and dimension to it as the beautiful female figure seems to be floating in an endless sky of dreamy colors. Portrait of beautiful woman, Large powerfully sensual deco-esque work by America's Master of the Movie Poster. Bob Peak. Bob Peak, in my opinion, was the Norman Rockwell of post-war American Illustration, this is one of the works that paved the way for a new way of seeing. It's more fine art than commercial art.
