  • PETER HELCK (1893-1988) CHEVY 3100 ILLUSTRATION ART
    Jun. 07, 2024

    PETER HELCK (1893-1988) CHEVY 3100 ILLUSTRATION ART

    Est: $5,000 - $7,000

    Clarence Peter Helck (1893-1988) Chevrolet 3100 Series at Work Circa 1950. This vibrant and charming work of original illustration art in tempera on paper is signed lower right front by the legendary automotive illustration artist Peter Helck. The dynamic composition and the attention to detail, classic hallmarks of Peter Helck's work, are executed at a higher level here than in any other examples of the artist's known body of illustration art. The vivid composition features a mid 20th century Chevy Advance Design 3100 pick-up truck filled with milk cans climbing a hill near the sunny dairy barnyard where other Chevy models come into view, and family members go about their chores. Men work to unload other Chevy models while a youth in blue shirt and cap brings dairy cows in from pasture with the help of a dog. Blue skies and a rolling agrarian landscape are prominent in the distance. Peter Helck was an award-winning artist quite well-known for painting advertising illustrations like this, and re-creating moments in auto racing history using paint and watercolor. He has been honored with the title of The Dean of Automotive Illustration Art and an award in his name is still given annually to artists recognized as leaders in the field of automotive art. Whether or not this image was ever published has not yet been established. Sight size measures 21.5 x 22 sight size, with a framed size of 30.5 x 31.25 inches.
