Description: 1967 Robert Wendell Engraving Artist Proof Signed "Kill Him" VERY RARE 1967 Robert Wendell Artists Proof Signed Kill Him Measures approximately 6" x 6" Matting measures 11" x 12" Had his designs been more widely dispersed, Robert "Bob" Wendell might today be recognized as one of the most talented poster artists of the psychedelic era. However, because he worked in sprawling Southern California, where the poster movement was not nearly as prominent an enterprise as it was in the more compact Bay Area, his output was not well distributed. Consequently, his innovative designs are rarely seen on the poster collector market.Nor has Wendell's work been reproduced in the recent books on the psychedelic poster phenomenon or included in the major exhibitions of psychedelic art that have traveled to museums across the United States. Robert Wendell grew up in Oregon and New Mexico, but has spent his entire artistic career in Southern California.From boyhood, he loved to draw, and received thorough training in that discipline at a number of art schools in New Mexico and California. He studied as a scholarship student at the Bistram School in Taos, New Mexico; at Los Angeles City College for two years; at Chouinard Art Institute (now California Art Institute in Valencia), wherehe studied with the great draftsman Rico LeBrun (1900-1964) and at the Otis Art Institute, where he earned an MFA to complete his schooling. Wendell is a talented graphic artist and illustrator. In the 1960s he developed packaging and marketing materials for a number of large corporations, including Quaker Oats, Scott Paper and Coca-Cola. He also workedextensively in television production, making more than one hundred TV commercials. Wendell first entered the poster arena in the early 1960s when he produced concert posters for the pop duo Jan and Dean.
