Description
Heinrich Kley "Feuerloescher gegen Ungeheuer [Fire Extinguishers against Monsters]" Illustration Original Art (c. 1920-40s). A wonderfully surreal piece. The more you look at it, the weirder it gets. Three of the surrounding four illustrations feature a knight on horse armed with a giant fire extinguisher fighting a dragon, the fourth features several crocodiles charging into battle armed with giant extinguishers as well. The central figure is the strangest and most whimsical... it features a frog riding on a giant fire extinguisher which has a clownish human face on the plunger end of it. Great work in loose graphite on colored art paper that measures 15" x 17.5". Affixed to a larger sheet of white paper mounted on a 20" x 26" illustration board. The white paper is stamped to indicate this was part of the Kley Estate. The corners of the art paper are wrinkled and one is slightly torn. There are two creases running across the middle of the page. In Very Good condition.Auction Info
