Grapefruit Moon Gallery has recently come into a collection of vintage 1950s - 1980s original, commissioned paper back cover art and magazine illustration art, much in a midcentury, post-war, pulp action aesthetic. These paperback cover paintings borrow from and expand upon the style and iconography of lurid and spicy pulp fiction illustrations. Damsels in distress and noir crime scenes abound in these striking illustrations. Recently, there has been a burgeoning interest in illustration art and we are brash enough to sell this collection on eBay in a no reserve auction format.







CONDITION: This original, one of a kind, illustration art painting is in excellent condition, as seen. Matted and ready to frame.
