Herbert Bohnert Original Cover Painting of Harper's Monthly Magazine 1909

Description: Herbert Bohnert Original Advertising Painting of Harper's Monthly Magazine 1909 Herbert Bohnert Original Painted Cover Illustration for Harper's Monthly Magazine, February 1909. This is a gorgeous cover illustration study for Harper's Monthly Magazine. This was made as a drawing and submitted for a cover for the February 1909 edition. It is painted on cardboard (artist board). I checked to see if any of the covers matched this one, and I could not find it. I can only assume that this was a study for a possible cover, that was eventually edited out. It may also be a sample work he may have done when he was studying at the Arts Student League in NY. Herbert Bohnert (1888-1967) was an American artist and very successful illustrator. Born in Cleveland, Ohio. He went to New York to study at the Art Students League, beginning his career doing illustrations for several magazine covers, among them, Harper’s, Collier’s, The Metropolitan, and The Munsey. Like his contemporary Norman Rockwell, Bohnert's illustrational style was naturalistic and attentive to the nuances of facial expression, costume and setting to convey character. He was the creator of the original "Little Dutch Boy" paint company trademark. Bohnert was the official poster creator for US Government War Bonds for Father’s Day, June, 1944. He lived in Hastings-On-Hudson. Today there is an annual prize that bears the name “Herbert and Rosetta (his wife) Memorial Award”. There’s a letter from President Dwight Eisenhower that establishes that Bohnert was honored at the Hudson Valley Art Association. (I have a copy of the letter). He continued a very successful career as an advertising illustrator in New York City. His work is featured at the National Portrait Gallery, Smithsonian Museum, Washington, D.C., Cleveland Museum of Art, South Carolina State Museum, Texas State University Museum, New Britain Museum of American Art, among others. Bohnert was a member of the Society of Illustrators, the Salmagundi Club, the Artists Guild NY, the Cleveland Society of Art, Allied Artists of America, Hudson Valley Art Association, Yonkers Art Association, Cleveland Art Club, National Arts Club (Chairman, Exhibition Committee), Allied Artists of America, American Artists Professional League (National Board), Director of the Hudson Valley Art Association (Gold Medal, 1961), the Council of American Art Societies (Director), and the Council of American Art Societies.
