A look through the ads in any old Life, Saturday Evening Post, Collier's etc. issue from the 50's shows what amazing artistry showed up every week in something as disposable as a 20-cent magazine.

Years before I even became interested in anything retail related or architecture related or even vintage related that was one of my favorite paintings because my fifth grade teacher had a poster of it in our classroom. I was always in love with it. Maybe it forshadowed the future regarding my hobbies and interests.<BR/><BR/>I could not even tell that the Acme paiting was art. I thought it was an actual photo. It is so lifelike even more livier than Hopper's painting.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
