About the Item
Above it all, two vigorous young men stand on a mountain top. They are depicted in profile, looking out into a sublime, verdant vista of tree-lined mountains punctuated by a winding river. They appear to be on a nature hike, but the image symbolizes youth looking out to a positive future. Legendary artist and illustrator Stan Galli's graphic rendition is defined by simplified shapes and bold, oversaturated colors reminiscent of his poster art for clients such as United Airlines and Disney. The present work, a fold-out cover for Reader's Digest, June 1968, demonstrates a high level of academic skill and a deep understanding of the psychological use of color. This issue includes articles by Martin Luther King Jr. and Dwight D. Eisenhower. Signed in the margin by Stan Galli, unframed on heavy illustration board

Surrealist Landscape, Mountain with Nude Woman - Perls Gallery
By Frederick Haucke
Located in Miami, FL
A nude white woman gazes out and over a Giorgio de Chirico like surrealist landscape to an overly dramatic sunset with stylized orange rays. In the center of the composition is a cut-out of a mountain with a moat. In the extreme foreground is a silhouetted orange plane with a spiral of leaves. Along with the empty landscapes of de Chirico, it's possible that Frederick Haucke was influenced by Salvador Dalí " The Persistence of Memory" in 1931, and Dali's painting was shown at the Museum of Modern Art in 1934. In that painting, Dali, paints a vacant landscape doted with symbols from the unconscious. This painting by Frederick Haucke owes a debt to giants of the Surrealist movement but still, Haucke carves out his style. The shape of the nude's hair echoes the shape of the sunset. What the symbolism to the mountain is and the flower in the foreground we will leave to the viewer to speculate. It was shown at the very prestigious Pearls Gallery in New York City. Artists in the famous Perls' stable included Derain, Dufy, Rouault, Matisse, Picasso, Modigliani, Pascin, Soutine, Chagall and Vlaminck. With a 1971 retrospective of Alexander Calder's work. This Haucke from the Perls Gallery...
