Giorgio De Gaspari

c.1960s, acrylic and pencil and board,  39 cm wide x 55 cm tall

Above Suspicion, a 1941 novel by Helen MacInnes was made into a film in 1943, starring Joan Crawford.  This is an example of how De Gaspari often used blocks of colour to focus his cover illustrations and his distinctive experiments with texture: layering different types of paper and sometimes even scratching the surfaces or rubbing sand into images.

The artwork is sold with an original Above Suspicion paperback that features the De Gaspari illustration.  

The original painting is approximately 39 cm wide x 55 cm tall.

North From Rome, is a cold war thriller novel, written by Helen MacInnes for which De Gaspari was commissioned to illustrate the cover.  Though originally published in 1958, Giordio De Gaspari’s illustration is clearly from a 1960s edition with its pared back focus on foreign travel, dramatic action and fashionable styling.
