(Dow, 1940s-1950s) An original painting for a Dow Chemicals magazine ad, accomplished in graphite, ink, and gouache. Dow grew greatly during World War II, and in the post-war advertised heavily to promote their products' value in everyday life. This is the concept painting for an ad in their standard magazine format of a painted image of American life (made better through chemistry), with caption and text beneath, and logo in the lower right corner. Measuring 12.5"x16.5", the piece is in very good condition with slight wear from handling.
