Description

Jeff Jones - Original Tarzan Oil Painting (2001). Jeffrey Jones burst forth onto the comics and illustration scene in the late 1960s, a glorious renaissance that also blessed the field with the likes of Berni Wrightson, Mike Kaluta and Barry Windsor-Smith. Unlike his contemporaries, Jones shied away from comic book work, and concentrated primarily on illustration and fine art. Held by many today to be the successor to Arthur Rackham and N.C. Wyeth, Jones' work is prized world-wide by collectors who are moved by his moody, evocative work. Offered here is a magnificent piece celebrating Tarzan, the Lord of the Jungle in a breathtaking 5' x 6' oil on canvas. In this wonderfully subtle piece, Tarzan lolls gracefully by a tree as a giant leopard strides past him. The leopard, solid in the hindquarters, seems to fade and grow indistinct the farther he moves from the Jungle Lord. Is the leopard real, or a totem animal, existing half in the real world and half in the spirit world? Either way, the piece exudes a raw and primal power that is hard to deny. A golden opportunity for the discerning fan of fine art, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and not one to be missed.
