May 1953; The courting of Susie Brown by Erskine Caldwell. Cover art by James Avati.
Avati: "This is what Caldwell's work produced in my imagination, these country hick types, and usually there was a sexual connotation of some sort. This woman's getting dressed to go out on a date, and there's one of their dates standing outside. The setup is a little artificial, a theatrical device - you do things like that. When I was painting this, [artist/friend] Tom Dunn came in, and he almost died. There was something about the way I was painting it. He said, 'Why do you have to do it so good!'"
