How James Avati created "The Gallery"
JAMES AVATI (1912--2005) earned renown as a pre-eminent paperback cover artist in an illustrious 40-year career that began during the paperback revolution of the 1950s. His work helped popularize the literature of Erskine Caldwell, James T. Farrell, William Faulkner, Alberto Moravia, Ayn Rand, Louis Bromfield, Robert Penn Warren and many others. Avati's genius lay in evoking emotion -- painting tension, humor, avarice, compassion, suggestiveness, yearning, mischief and a score of other feelings into the faces and postures of characters not more than two inches high.
