Original cover illustration for The Saturday Evening Post, December 12, 1959.
The Post described, “Teacher is being kept long after school by John Howard’s mother. Mrs. H., deploring the low score on John’s report card, wonders out loud how this could happen to a boy who is naturally bright and perceptive and retentive; and teacher convinced that John got just what was coming to him, wonders silently, How many times have I heard this line before? Well, let's face the future hopefully. If Johny spends too much time dreaming out of the school window, probably he’ll become a framed poet or inventor, surprising his teacher to no end. Or if his problem is insufficient study, let’s believe Mrs. H. will improve her homework by making Jonny improve his. Meanwhile, what is artist Amos Sewell doing to help the boy out of his jam? Taking a vacation to Africa.”

Saturday Evening Post Cover, April 19, 1952
Thornton Utz liked to work out the poses of his figures with rapid, free sketches that clearly expressed the mood or mental attitude of his characters. Once this had been established, he then posed an photographed his models, as nearly as possible, in the predetermined positions. The photos furnished the details of folds and lighting which lent added factuality to his original poses.
He used this approach effectively for his humorous Saturday Evening Post covers as well as for the more serious fiction illustrations for Cosmopolitan, McCall’s, The Ladies’ Home Journal, Redbook, and Good Housekeeping.
Utz participated in the Society of Illustrators Air Force Art Program and received a citation from General Curtis LeMay for documenting the airlift of Hungarian refugees. Utz also received the Governor Bryant of Florida Award for his freedom posters.
He was born in Memphis, Tennessee, and studied under Burton Callicott in Memphis. He also attended the American Academy of Art in Chicago and late taught at the Chicago Art Institute. Utz eventually concentrated on paintings and commissioned portraiture, which included President Carter...
