Medium: Oil on Board Signature: Signed Lower Right Saturday Evening Post Cover, April 29, 1961 Amos Sewell was born in San Francisco and moved to New York where he attended the Arts Students League. One of his teachers was Harvey Dunn whom he emulated and who inspired him to become an illustrator.

Secret Project

By Amos Sewell

Located in Fort Washington, PA

Magazine Story Illustration Signed lower left Amos Sewell had a special empathy for children and also particularly enjoyed depicting homespun, rural subjects. These special gifts were ideally combined in the illustrations he made for a series of stories about Babe, Little Joe, Big Joe, and Uncle Pete by R. Ross Annett that ran for over twenty years in The Saturday Evening Post. Sewell was born in San Francisco and studied nights at the California School of Fine Arts, working days in a bank. After some years of this, he decided to try his luck as an illustrator in the East. To get there, he shipped out as a working hand on a lumber boat going by way of the Panama Canal. In New York, he studied at the Art Students League and at the Grand Central School of Art. Among his teachers were Guy Pene DuBois, Julian Levi...

Abstract Composition

By Edgar Stoëbel

Located in London, GB

'Abstract Composition', oil on board (circa 1960s), by Edgar Stoëbel (1909-2001). In his very original style, artist Stoëbel's abstract image seems to form a human torso with the lively colours of a modernist work. The image has a pop art quality to it and was created just as that movement was emerging. Pop art challenged traditional painting by embracing colourful images from advertising, popular culture, comic books and mundane objects from everyday life. This artwork has a powerful intensity of tone and colour having somewhat faded with time. It speaks to Stoëbel's very distinctive style which remains completely approachable and appealing. In fact, this is not pop art. This is part of the post-war concrete abstract movement, or Constructive Art...
