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. He did many covers for Country Gentleman and The Saturday Evening Post and is best known for painting everyday people doing everyday things.
One of his best-loved covers is “Visiting Hours,” where a father and son come to visit Mom in the hospital. Since the misses appears to be recovering nicely, their attention drifts to the baseball game on television. Notice the rabbit ears, the black and white television...

Secret Project

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...
