About the Item
Signed Lower Left by Artist
Born in small town Texas, Welch first learned his trade through the W. L. Evans correspondence course in cartooning, which led him to a short-lived stint at Southern Methodist University illustrating yearbooks. This work launched him as a newspaper artist, and eventually earning a position as an advertising agency sketch man. Some of Welch's best loved works are from this period, doing work for advertisers such as Keds, Jell-O, Pullman, and Traveler's Insurance. Yet, it is his work for the Saturday Evening Post that is considered his best - he created a number of memorable covers for the publication, as well as others including Family Circle and Woman's Day.
The Post described, “So you get out the camera to catch baby’s winning smile; we really ought to have a picture of that, you say. Baby watches with bright interest as someone sets up the camera. The picture’s in focus; everything is ready. Does the baby smile? Every parent and grandparent knows the answer. Baby begins to cry as if he had just been left on somebody’s doorstep. Will baby smile again? Your’re darned right; the minute you put the camera away. One of artist Jack Welch’s favorite family photographs is one he took from behind the baby — his daughter Ruth Marie — while a dentist friend, the dentist’s wife and Mrs. Welch all made faces and waved balloons in a futile attempt to get baby to grin. Very much as you see here.”
