Gene Szafran (1941), ?The Hand? surrealist illustration, pastel.
Born in Detroit Michigan, Gene Szafran became a renowned illustrator for the country?s most distinguished magazines including "Playboy," "Cosmopolitan," "Penthouse," "McCall's," "Fortune," and ?Bantam Books.? He studied and later taught at the Society of Arts and Crafts in Detroit and also taught at the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn. He then moved to Connecticut as a freelance artist and worked as an illustrator out of New York City. He has personal interests of photography and sculpture that he often incorporates into his distinctive illustrations.
This is a fantastic original illustration by Szafran. The colors of this pastel painting are very vibrant and deeply saturated, emphasized by the black background, these colors seem to pop off the paper. Hues and tones blending smoothly into each other contrast those harsh edges and help to draw attention to each other. It is very tightly rendered showing mastery over the medium. The work is framed in a wonderful contemporary sliver wood frame with an inner scalloped edge. A cobalt blue and white double mat gives depth and clarity to the image. The total size of the piece is 22 ½ by 17 inches. Szafran?s artwork continues to increase in worth, making the purchase of his art a valuable investment.
