Reclining Woman with Man in Background

Creator: Joe Bowler
Offered by: Robert Funk Fine Art

Description
Most likely for a magazine like Saturday Evening Post interior editorial spread. The empty space to the right was for the art director to surprint type. The empty space acts as compositional balance to the female figure and the lower torso of the man behind her. The woman with her eyes shut seems to be floating in a dreamy verdant world. All the empty spaces allows her room to travel.
The Gesso Panel is quite heavy and dense and feels more like masonite.
In 1992 Joe Bowler was inducted into the Illustrators Hall of Fame.

Signature: The work is Signed Bowler center right.
