Original hand painted gouache watercolor painted for the cover of Rogue Magazine signed Lloyd Rognan (American 1923 - 2005) well known illustrator and contributor to dozens of books and magazines including science fiction (Imaginative Tales, Imagination, Fate and Isaac Asimov) but most notably the naughty Rogue Magazine for Men. This particular piece is classic, provative imagery used in the magazine. A lushous lady reclines on the couch and the 'wolf' is actually popping out of the TV screen. Rogue was a competitor of Playboy and was at press from December 1955 - December 1967 and were well known for their racey cartoons and provocative sem-nude photos. What set ROGUE above the main was the great science fiction and general fiction authors who contributed stories. This original art and one I am offering from Phil Interlandi the famous Playboy cartoonisy come from Lloyd Rognan's own personal collection. Mr. Rognan is well known for his contributions to magazines for decades, with one of his fortes being science fiction. I have several pieces from Mr. Rognan's estate including original hand painted covers for Rogue Magazine with the classic 'wolf' in every painting. The estate auction offered several dozen of his and other artists works and represent his own private collection, below are some examples, including ones that I have for sale. The illustrations were auctioned at Dirk Soulis Auction House. Interesting that he owned his images which was and is not the norm without some serious negotiations. Signed lower left.

CONDITION: Superb original condition.

SIZE: The painting is 12 3/4 inches x 10 inches.
