Description

Alex Schomburg Judgment on Janus Unpublished Alternative Cover Preliminary Illustration Original Art (Ace Books, c. 1963). In this science-fiction thriller, written by Andre Norton, a slave laborer is transformed into a racial savior. Alex Schomburg's detailed preliminary study for an alternate cover design for an Ace paperback, catches both the torment and the allegorical symbolism of Norton's story. While a different, less shocking cover was ultimately used, this piece is absolutely riveting -- perhaps it was deemed too much so for the mass audience of the turbulent sixties. The image area of this mixed-media painting measures approximately 4" x 6.5"
