Frame Sizes, each 24 X 18.5, remarkable pair of two large original FINAL PUBLISHED gouache paintings by Bemelmans FEATURING A LANDMARK MOMENT IN TECHNOLOGY, THE USHERING IN OF COLOR TV. This pair of paintings, used for “A Tale of Two Glimps”,was published in 1946 by CBS as a LANDMARK promotion to advocate the advantages of color TV (over black and white). These pieces are extraordinary and important earmarking of a significant moment in technology of the time! The book is a story of two rabbit-like “Glimps”, one who lives in a black and white world, the other who lives in a color world, the story playfully argues for the dramatic advantage of color television. The two “glimps”– singular creatures whose varying perceptions (glimpses…) of their worlds provide them their name – each have a television set. One has color, the other has black-and-white. It is not hard to imagine which has the better life, and which set CBS was trying to advocate in this scarce promotional work by Bemelmans. |
