About the Item

Date: 1950 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.”” (The Saturday Evening Post, July 1st, 1950, p. 3)
