Ilonka Karasz Original New Yorker Cover Illustration, July 18, 1964
About the Item
This vivid oil, watercolor and pencil on board by Ilonka Karasz is one of her 186 commissioned cover illustrations for the New Yorker, and the only one currently on the market.
Looking closely at the scene of wild spring flora, you’ll see a superbloom of yellow wild daisies, cornflowers, high grasses, a few birds, the cutest raccoon ever depicted, a couple of rabbits and even a beaver. It was probably a scene she knew well near her home in Brewster, NY in the lower Hudson Valley.
The work is newly rematted and framed and has been in the same collection for fifteen years.
An underappreciated polymath in the history of 20th century illustration and design, Ilonka Karasz moved to New York’s Greenwich Village from Budapest in 1913 at age 17, and never left the New York area. She designed almost anything that could be: wallpaper, metalware, textiles, ceramics, toys, book and magazine covers, murals, theatrical posters, advertisements, maps. She was everywhere.
Her material is beloved by institutions, and she has had exhibitions at the Smithsonian’s Cooper Hewitt National Museum of Design as well as the Georgia Museum of Art, in Athens.
