Includes a great Coca Cola color ad on the back cover. about the coverThornton Utz's action-filled cover, which contains many detail that you shouldn't overlook, turned out to be a double triumph for him. He says it gave him an on-top-of-the-world feeling. For it is this well-known Post illustrator'’s first cover appearance. Also, it set him up as a professional photographer. While taking background photos in New York Utz snapped Vito Quatela’s rolling hot-dog stand at 24th Street and Ninth Avenue, which is peeking around the corner in the painting. Quatela wanted a copy of the picture: so they entered into a contract. And later a print was mailed to him with this bill: One 8-bv-10 photo— price, one hot dog. Utz ix planning to pick up the payment himself; this is no case for a bill collector. About Thornton UtzThornton Utz was born Nov. 15, 1914, in Memphis, Tennessee, where he spent his young years doodling in textbooks. After discovering his artistic talent, he struggled to save enough money to attend art school in Chicago. With the country in a depression, Utz could afford only one year at the American Academy of the Arts and though he studied there for only a short time, he learned the secret to being a great artist: drawing continually. And draw Utz did, as well as paint, illustrate and design. Initial recognition of his work came for his illustrations. During the 1940s and '50s, Utz provided advertising illustrations for clients such as Coca-Cola, General Electric and Ford Motor Co. His work also graced more than 50 covers of the 'Saturday Evening Post.' International fame came with portraits of Princess Grace of Monaco and President Jimmy Carter. In addition to personal portraits of Carter, the family's 1977 Thanksgiving celebration is forever immortalized, thanks to Utz. One of his most serious artist decisions came in 1987, when he was commissioned to design the stained-glass windows for the Catholic Church of the Incarnation. 'He struggled a lot before accepting the windows at Incarnation,' said Utz's son Scott. 'He was troubled because of a passage in the Bible on how we shouldn't carve idols and engrave images. He didn't want his work to be glorified.' A man of religious conviction, Utz feared that his artwork would be recognized more than the biblical message behind it. Despite his achievements, Utz never fancied himself an artist talent. 'He was so humble, though so little of himself,' said his daughter Dawn Hadley. 'He never thought of himself as a great artist. That was just his work and his trade. That's what he did to provide for his family.' Terms U.S. bidders only Payment eBay managed payments Please pay within 48 hours.
