ANTONIO PETRUCCELLI (1907-1994)

American Eagle.

Alternate cover for Fortune Magazine February, 1940. Gouache on board. 350x285 mm; 13 3/4x11 1/4. Signed "A. Petrucelli" in lower left image. Tipped to mount, matted, and framed.
Petrucelli created numerous covers for Fortune magazine. He said of this project: "This was a Hank Brennan assignment. He wanted a decorative stylized eagle with silver or gold for one color. I did three versions and of course the one I lease preferred was used." (See: fulltable.com/vts/p/pet/menu.htm).
