About the Item
Signature: Signed Lower Left ‘Stevan Dohanos’
Medium: Mixed Media on Paperboard Laid Down on Masonite
The present work was published as the cover illustration of the June 26th, 1954 issue of The Saturday Evening Post.
The Post described, “Here a Coast Guard man is adding to his duties the task of guarding coastal waters against getting too crowded with fish. This he does by casting a line into the briny and murmuring, “Come supper, come supper.” Painter Dohanos says he doesn't know whether the lighthouse keeper’s wife or another guardsman inhabits that kitchen, for he can’t see any farther into the window than you can. Visible evidence suggests a wife, who has imposed the classic wifely rule; if men catch fish, they can darn well clean them too, and outdoors, see? Dohanos suspects that in the kitchen a cranberry pie is being baked , for while studying a lighthouse he made the acquaintance of a cranberry bog. By the way, what do sea gulls think? Same as men. Let’s eat.” (The Saturday Evening Post, June 26, 1954, p. 3) Later responding to a letter from a curious reader about the location, the editors further explained, “Artist Dohanos had to travel around to assemble his picture. The lighthouse is at Brant Point, Nantucket; the house in the foreground came out of Dohanos’ imagination. The man cleaning the fsh is the keeper of the lighthouse at West Chop, Martha’s Vineyard.” (The Saturday Evening Post, October 30, 1954)
