Clark Hulings (American, b. 1922), "Benton's Row", oil on illustration board, signed middle-left, titled, signed and dated "Feb-1956" en verso, 21 1/2 in. x 20 7/8 in., in a period frame; accompanied by a copy of the paperback book Benton's Row by Frank Yerby, with this image on the cover. Note: Clark Hulings spent much of his childhood in Spain and Louisiana, and continued to draw upon those experiences throughout his career. Primarily a realist painter who was trained in New York at the Art Students League, Huling also spent fifteen years as an illustrator. The present lot demonstrates the combination of Hulings' illustrative abilities and his Louisiana background, which, combined, create the effect needed for the cover of the book Benton's Row: Lust, Violence, and Tragedy in the Louisiana Bayous.
