Description
Virgil Ross - Bugs Bunny and Gossamer Drawing Original Art (Warner Brothers, c. 1990s). "Yikes!" Gossamer roars at a "frightened" Bugs, in this scene inspired by the 1946 smash hit Hare Raising Hare. It's from the hand of Virgil Ross (1907 - 1996), a longtime Warner Brothers animator who worked in the Bob Clampett, Tex Avery, and Friz Freleng Units. He was well known for his action and dance sequences and funny facial expressions. He worked on three Looney Tunes shorts that received Academy Award nominations -- Tweety Pie, Birds Anonymous and the only cartoon that Bugs Bunny won an Academy Award for, Knighty Knight Bugs. Mr. Ross began releasing hand-painted Limited Edition cels of progressions of his famous Looney Tunes scenes as part of the "Masters Collection" for the Warner Brothers Studio Stores and animation galleries. He began making personal appearances where requests for original artwork were met with drawings of the Looney Tunes characters as well as cartoons he worked on for other studios. He was given the prestigious Winsor McCay Award in 1988. This "scary good" piece is matted with an opening of 12" x 9" and framed with glass for an overall size of 17" x 14". Frame is sold as-is. Art condition is Fine.More information about Virgil Ross. See also: Ross, Virgil Artist.
