Description
Barry Windsor-Smith cover art for OPUS 2. (1976-78) Accomplished in mixed media on 19.5 x 20.5 in. artist board. BWS spent countless hours creating this masterwork of 20th century illustration. Depicting a young knight in rapture before an alluring emerald-clad beauty, surrounded by elaborate, colorfully detailed and symbolic motifs and metalwork. This superlative work was used as the cover for the artist's second monograph volume, OPUS 2. Interestingly, the piece is larger than the published version, which was cropped by a mat. Offered here is the original uncropped and complete work. Signed in the artwork, "BWS". Dated in the margin, "1976". Exhibiting pencil smudges, color test swatches, detail sketches, and handwritten notation in the border, not affecting the art. In fine condition.Auction Info
