Mathias Kauten
Lifeguard, Original Magazine Cover Illustration

20th Century

About the Item

Cover design for an unidentified magazine. A handsome painting of a boy's daydreams as a lifeguard and whose composition is reminiscent of J. C. Leyendecker's Saturday Evening Post covers. By 1941, Mat Kauten was selling realistic cover designs to the pulp magazines. He got into trouble as a conscientious objector in World War II and continued his anti-war activities during the Korean War. He studied architecture with Frank Lloyd and designed several modernized homes in the 1960s

Samuel S.Hoskins Statement on Sacred Writing : I sought to delve into the concept of sacred texts, encompassing both religious and mythological narratives. Unlike conventional books, these sacred texts are dynamic, evolving throughout an individual's lifetime and human history. Reading such a text in childhood carries distinct significance compared to revisiting it in later stages of life.
