Description
Here is a fabulous painting by the very talented Mr. Bob Clarke. This measures 11 1/4 x 15 inches. It is in good condition, with a little spot on the bottom right, as shown in the photo. I do not have to tell you this is one of a kind. This is also a self-portrait. Bob portrayed his wife and himself in many of these anniversary presents.
Mr. Clarke was a contributing artist for Mad Magazine and the American "Legion" Magazine, for a number of years. Many people are not aware that in the late 1940's, Mr. Clarke had his own comic, usually with a military theme, titled "Over Here."
Although Mr. Clarke died in 2013, the final contents of his home were recently sold by one of our local auction houses, Allen-Marshall Auctions, at Mr. Clarke's home in Seaford, Delaware. I have many of his items up for auction, which I purchased and picked up personally in Seaford. There are several personal, family drawings. I believe he was married in 1946 from his Anniversary paintings. His earlier works from the 1940's are signed ClaRk. In later years, he dropped the capital "R."
Thank you and best wishes. Payment DUE at auction end.
