Description

What a beauty! Cover to Ladies’ Home Journal (October 1932), by illustrator royalty, John LaGatta. LaGatta was brilliant, and at the height of his career (when he painted this cover), he was as well known as any illustrator out there. LaGatta was best known for painting sophisticated women, and this cover is a prime example. Love the color palette and the expressiveness of the model. Fantastic stuff. Oil on board over charcoal (27” x 20”).

I would have never guessed oils for the media.   The technique is eye appealing as is the subject of the painting.   Thanks for posting this,  a new fan for this artist.

A very ideal and ladylike thing to do.  Painted to set the example and cultivate taste and sophistication for ladies everywhere.

Jeez, that is fantastic, Ben!  LaGatta made it look so damn easy.  Gorgeous work.  I remember when Roy Crane had a LaGatta reference in "Wash Tubbs". 

Congrats!

Gorgeous painting by John LaGatta. Beautiful woman rendered exquisitely in oils with a subdued color palette. Fantastic cover art! Great find!
