Description
Bernie Wrightson original cover painting for A Look Back. (1978) Accomplished in oil on 24 x 48 in. stretched canvas. Offered here is the magnificent cover to the Wrightson retrospective monograph A Look Back. This large and impressive work is an important cornerstone to Wrightson's renowned oeuvre. It depicts an "Uncle Creepy"-like character walking through the forest at night (a bad idea in Wrightson's darkly imaginative world) as various horrible, otherworldly creatures lurk in the shadows below a blood red sunset. Bernie did far too few oil paintings. This notable work is arguably his best, and certainly among his most well known. Meticulous with finely rendered details throughout. The mesmerizing effect is enhanced by the colossal size of the work. Truly a modern masterpiece. Signed centrally in lower artwork, "Wrightson '78". In fine condition.Auction Info
