Art Cummings Ink Cartoon on Transparent Paper "Beware of Dog"
Item Details
An ink and graphite cartoon on transparent paper titled Beware of Dog by well-listed artist Art Cummings (United States, 1922 – 2012). Depicted is a freshly painted sign reading ‘Beware of Dog’. Humorously, it is suggested that the sign painter was chased off by the dog. Unsigned by the artist; marked ‘Omni – Bob’ in graphite, suggesting Bob Guccione approved the cartoon for use in Omni Magazine. Mounted onto sketch paper and presented without a frame. The item included in this lot comes from The Guccione Collection, sold exclusively through EBTH by digital media company Jerrick. The item originates from the personal archives of Bob Guccione; media mogul, artist, and founder of Penthouse magazine.
Children’s book illustrator and cartoonist Art Cumings was a frequent contributor to both Penthouse and Omni magazines, as well lending illustration duties to authors such as Dr. Seuss and Shari Lewis.
