Medium: Oil on Masonite
Dimensions: 25.75" x 20.00"
Signature: Signed Lower Right
Original cover illustration for The Saturday Evening Post, July 1st, 1950.
The Post described, “These cows are relatives of ones that were drinking paste from a circus bill poster’s pail in Stevan Dohanos cover some years back. Near Westport, Connecticut, Bob Warner runs the Blue Ribbon Dairy Farm and Cow-Posing Academy. Cows decry posing; it does something to their dignity. Warner had a rough day inducing his more paintable beasts to walk past Dohanos for observation. With all his experience at shooing cows, he cannot aim a cow north without probably having her go either east or west. As for the picnic, the attitude of that white cow with the obvious horns is inauspicious. She seems to be musing, “When those women get well inside the barbed wire, I believe I will shoo them right back through it.””

Stevan Dohanos
Stevan Dohanos was born in the steel mill town of Lorain, Ohio, on May 18, 1907. Dohanos studied at the Cleveland School of the Arts. He is best known for the covers, more than 100, he painted for The Saturday Evening Post magazine during the 1940s and 1950s. His work appeared frequently on its covers. Most of his illustrations depicted common scenes of everyday post-war American life, such as a mobile home complete with pink flamingo, a gas station attendant inflating a child's toy or a souped-up motorcycle in the owner's driveway. His works are often compared to those of Norman Rockwell. Dohanos was influenced by The Eight namely Henri, Sloan, Glackens, Shinn, Prendergast, Davies, Lawson and Luks. During the 1960s, his designs were used on 25 postage stamps. From 1961–63, he served as a President of the Society of Illustrators and in 1971 was elected to the Society's Hall of Fame. He was a founder of the Famous Artists School in Westport. Dohanos died on July 2, 1994, in Westport, Connecticut.
