BruceH Posted January 15, 2004 Report Share Posted January 15, 2004 Is Wally Wood art? I'd hope so, I love his work. You and me both. Along with Harvey Kurtzman, Jack Cole, Cliff Sterrit, and about 200 other comics and cartoon artists. Right now I'm looking at a fairly new (2002) art book: "ART NOUVEAU The French Aesthetic" by Victor Arwas. A huge, beautiful book, full of lively reproductions. Must weigh five pounds though.

BruceH Posted January 15, 2004 Report Share Posted January 15, 2004 Oh, and "The Cat"----all of Dietch's "Cat" cartoons have been collected by Fantagraphics in a huge hardcover book titled "Cat On Hot Thin Groove." Worth the money, especially if you're tired of straining your eyes on the miniscule reproductions of The Cat in Weirdo magazine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Man with the Golden Arm Posted January 15, 2004 Report Share Posted January 15, 2004 deus62, I've almost picked up that 'popbot' series. Is that the same Foster you linked. Have to explore further! Looks a bit like the stuff by Rick Berry w/o the heavy strokes. The David Ho reminds me much of John Jude Palencar's work. As for the precursor to this type of illustration, here is an easy trivia test: what illustrator that had many editorial pieces across the board in the eighties and nineties did the cover for a now sought after Collector's Choice CD???

7/4 Posted January 15, 2004 Report Share Posted January 15, 2004 Cool. I've never seen this one. I wonder what it is called. Airhead? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for my most favorite of all present day magazine illustrators- Peter de Seve If you are interested in that sort of stuff, check out this book: Spectrum 10: The Best in Contemporary Fantastic Art. It's a wonderful series, currently in its 10th volume. There should be tons in there you like. And, the collectors' value is tremendous, if you go for the hardcovers. The first few volumes in the series have risen dramatically in prize, if you can find any, that is. Cheers! P.S.: It was the same Jon Foster. I have tons of good links here. Will post more in the future. I don't want to saturate this thread. Edited January 16, 2004 by deus62 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted January 16, 2004 Report Share Posted January 16, 2004 Velazquez That's a magnificent painting, Maren. When the Metropolitan Museum bought this (in the late 1960s?), they paid the highest price that had ever been paid for a painting to that time. It was in private hands in England, and auctioned off. It is supposed to be in beautiful condition, much better than the Velasquezs in the Prado (which I have never seen). Apparently the former curator of the Prado used to clean the paintings by pressing squashed up pieces of bread on them. This did clean them, but it also flattened them, so the textural quality of those paintings has been lost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king ubu Posted January 16, 2004 Report Share Posted January 16, 2004 Regarding comic art - how about Art Spiegelman? I love his work (or the few things I do know, rather). Anyone seen his 9-11 comic? It was published (exclusively, I think, as no US-paper dared to print it) in the german weekly newspaper "Die Zeit". Great work! ubu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BERIGAN Posted January 16, 2004 Report Share Posted January 16, 2004 Did anyone else mention Picasso??? I was never much of a fan, till an exhibit rolled thru Atlanta in the 90's, was so impressed, that when I went out to L.A. later that year, I saw it again....Some Artists just don't come across as well in books as others do...by the way, where are you guys finding the great images? I found many examples of Three Musicians, all terrible, some even with the wrong colors! I saw a link to supposedly the official Picasso site, and it was trying it's damnedest to make me download some file extension!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Man with the Golden Arm Posted January 16, 2004 Report Share Posted January 16, 2004 Hey deus62, Do have that Spectrum and the previous. Specifically for the work of a good friend I used to work next to for years. His piece is on page 94 of #10 and it's the train titled "Flash Gordon's Rocket Locomotive". This guy is a god in his own right! Used to work up in Hi-Brow at American Geetings just after the R. Crumb days. That train is completely hand crafted. Guy can paint like a son of a gun too. I used to change his blackened water-crock cause it drove me crazy watching him get pristine hi-lights out of his dipping swamp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BruceH Posted January 16, 2004 Report Share Posted January 16, 2004 I like Spiegelman a lot. Too bad he left the New Yorker. How about space art? Chesley Bonestell is one of my favorites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king ubu Posted January 16, 2004 Report Share Posted January 16, 2004 I like Spiegelman a lot. Too bad he left the New Yorker. I think one of the reasons was that they shied away from publishing his 9-11 comic (which I find truly GREAT!) ubu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
