Title: Ben & Jerry’S Cow Poster. Original Printing
Description: Vermont: circa 1983. Poster. Printed on unused pressure sensitive paper. 28 x 25 inches.. "The Man Behind the Moo": But this cow wasn’t always the Ben & Jerry’s cow. In the earliest days, the duo had a goofy cartoon cow that they used on their trucks and in advertisements, but they never thought it was quite right.. So, in 1983, they approached Woody Jackson. Opens a new window, a beloved Vermont artist known for his stunning cow depictions to talk about a partnership. Always fond of supporting fellow Vermonters, Ben and Jerry were excited to work with Woody and upgrade their cow art to boot. The guys struck a deal, and this cow has been the face of Ben & Jerry's ever since." "Woody Jackson, often know as the “Cowman” began painting my iconic Vermont Holsteins in 1972, after graduating from Middlebury College, where I found my calling in art and then in the love of Vermont and its landscape. My friends and I worked as hired hands for the local dairymen. I worked for Avery Carl and his son Waverly in Bridport, VT. Their farm sat on a small hill overlooking the wide expanse of the Champlain Valley with the magnificent Adirondack Mountains to the West. There were barns and silos on most rises among the colorful fields of corn, hay and alfalfa spread in front of me, as I raked hay back and forth on meadow. The cows were always in the scene, stealing it, their black and white abstractions in contrast to the saturated hues of green, gold and fiery red sunsets. Blurring ones eyes lightly, there was only the black and white patterns against all those charged colors. .
