The Doctor Disagrees |

 |
...The Doctor Disagrees by Elizabeth Seifert was the first cover Mort Künstler did in the long-running series of “Doctor” novels that Elizabeth Seifert wrote for Dodd, Mead & Co. in the 1950’s and through to the 1970’s?
Painted in 1953, it was one of his earliest assignments and was done for Dodd, Mead & Co. Künstler would continue to do all of Elizabeth Seifert’s “Doctor” novels into the 1970’s. Using himself and his wife, Deborah, as models, it was one of his first attempts to create a strongly patterned design and the design element has continued to remain a very important element in all his works.
