The Day After Tomorrow by Stanley Meltzoff - Giclée Print

Stanley Meltzoff died in 2006 at the age of 89.  His credits are far too extensive to list.  Born in New York City, he served in Italy in World War II as an artist and journalist for the U.S. military magazine Stars and Stripes. He also created visuals for Puptent Poets, a paperback of soldiers' verse. A teacher and an illustrator for the nation's most wide-read periodicals and dozens of paperback novels, he was perhaps best known for his marine portraits.  Stanley Meltzoff's works are pure Americana and some of his works hang in The National Gallery and the Getty Museum.

This painting, The Day After Tomorrow graced the cover of a Robert Heinlein novel of the same name which was released in September of 1951. It is unrelated with the climate doomsday movie of the same name from 2004. Originally, this novel was call Sixth Column on it's 1949 hardcover release but was originally published across 3 editions of Astounding Science Fiction between January and March of 1941 under the pseudonym Anson Macdonald.  It tells the story of a small group of military and scientific survivors in a secret Rocky Mountain base who mount an asymmetric resistance after the United States is conquered by an Asian alliance. The painting, itself is a dystopian classic.

Thanks to our good friend Mike Rivkin, owner of the Stanley Meltzoff estate, we are able to offer this image as an unframed giclée print, reproduced at 21.2” x 18”, with an additional 1" border. Pronounced "zhee-clay," the word comes from the French term gicler, meaning to spray. UV-resistant, pigment-based inks are used that prevent fading. You can expect a museum-quality digital fine art reproduction at incredible detail, on acid-free fine art paper.
