Bob Guccione Double-Sided Oil Pastel and Charcoal Drawing on Paper of Men
Item Details
A double-sided oil pastel and charcoal sketch on paper on men by listed American artist Bob Guccione (New York, 1930 – 2010). Rendered with simple lines and smudges, the front of the sketch features a well-dressed middle-age man wearing sunglasses and reading from a sheet of paper. The verso features a preliminary sketch of a man with his arms crossed and other less discernible figural sketches. The work is not signed, but a stamp from the Bob Guccione estate is faintly marked to the verso. The drawing is not mounted and remains unframed.
Bob Guccione began his artist endeavors in 1949 when he traveled to Italy with basic paint supplies and a few dollars. Despite never receiving formal artist training he premiered his artwork at the Nassau County Museum of Art and the Butler Institute of American Art. Many of his original sketches and painting were created during his time traveling through Rome, Paris, and London during the late 1950s and early 1960s. Later in life, he founded Penthouse Magazine which halted his career as an artist.
