  Artist: Andre Francois (1915-2005)

Description: Clock-faced man doffing newspaper hat to reveal the brightness of The New York Times.

Caption:There’s no Times like the present

Publication information: Advertisement for The New York Times in 1985. I believe that this was also used in poster form in Manhattan bus shelters.

Medium: mixed media with oil pastel, gouache, ink and collaged clock faces

Size: 11.75 x 9”

Signature: initialed lower right and also with the artist’s name typeset there.

Condition: Excellent condition in an elegant museum quality mat and frame.

Comment: Francois’ greatest works are scarce on the market, owing to the fact that he kept most of his favorite efforts. Scores of them were destroyed by a studio fire late in his life. This comes from a period in the artist’s career when he was producing cover artwork for The New Yorker on a regular basis.

Price: SOLD
