Description
Richard Williams - "Mad Art" Book Cover Painting Original Art (Watson Guptill, 2002). Richard Williams pays an uproarious tribute to two American magazine icons -- Alfred E. Neuman and Norman Rockwell -- with his cover scene for Mad Art: A Visual Celebration of the Art of Mad Magazine and the Idiots Who Create It. Look carefully at this scene and you will see a graphic "tip of the hat" to such Mad mainstays as Sergio Aragones, Dave Berg, Al Jaffee, and even the Mad zeppelin, the "Poiuyt" optical illusion, and Arthur, the plant. This oil on canvas "Mad-sterpiece" has an overall size of 31" x 40", and the art is in Excellent condition.Lookup the Comic Book in our Guide
