Does anyone here know who painted the art featured on the cover of Ayn Rand books by Signet? Thanks.

I'm most interested in buying and framing prints of the art featured on The Fountainhead and The Virtue of Selfishness. Yet there is no signature as I can see on The Fountainhead, there is only an artist's mark on The Virtue, and on Philosophy: Who Needs It is signed Nick Gastano. I'll have to google it. Thanks.

[EDIT: Couldn't find any definite results on Google for Nick Gastano. Hrmmm...]

I've searched and searched. The only way to get them is from the Ayn Rand Institute with a contribution of $750 or from <a href="http://www.papertig.com/gaetanoAF.htm" target="_blank">http://www.papertig.com/gaetanoAF.htm</a> for $75 for only 13x19 prints. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="eek.gif" />

Buy the 13x19, scan it at a high res, then send it to Ofoto for a photgraphic print. They can do 20x30.

Ayn Rand loved ingenuity and the free market.
