Item Overview

Description

HOKANSON, LARS. 1942-2012 FRANCES CICHETTI. Watercolor, gouache and ink, Lion/Lamb, comprising three states: preliminary rough, and finished painting, with printed New Yorker cover, March 18, 1996, 267 x 191 mm; 387 x 244 mm; both paintings signed lower left, matted and framed as a triptych. A clever trick picture on the old cliché as the lamb emerges from the face of the March lion. The artists submitted their cover concept with several preliminary roughs to The New Yorker art staff and then completed what they thought would be the published art. Instead the art director went with a preliminary similar to this one. The finished art is the central panel of this triptych. Hokanson and Cichetti sold a second New Yorker cover later that year.
