Description:
1957 Witty Vintage Mid-Century Saturday Evening Post Cover Art- Lingerie-Clad Lady is Entranced by her Mirrored Reflection in Stunning Rose-Covered Easter Bonnet Alajalov Artwork. Witty and Slightly Irreverent Original Vintage Mid-Century Alajalov Cover art for the April 13, 1957 issue of Saturday Evening Post Magazine. Utterly Fabulous Example of the clever witty charms of cover artist Constantin Alajalov one of the most talented and prolific contributors of cover design to the estimable Saturday Evening Post. With a detail-oriented eye, sense of humor and dash of brave wit, Alajalov approached the world and his paintings with a brilliant style and superbly nuanced humor. Great color graphic is the epitome of Mid-Century style- note the details of color- the chartreuse upholstered headboards, the glass lamp with the shirred trimming, the small alarm clock on the white pine bedside table. Wonderful sense of color and texture in the bright and contrasting soft blue background the slight illumination emanating from the lamp which irks the sleeping hubby and allows the contented wife a thrilling glimpse of her recently purchased elegant if somewhat outlandish Easter bonnet. Note the placement of the oh-so-French looking striped blue and green hatbox and the very weary expression of the awakened husband! Cover only measures 11 x 15- some wear to the edges a little bit of color fade as well. A simply divine bit of artistic whimsicality from the prolific brush of Alajalov at his absolute best!
