Description
Jeffrey Jones Idyl "extinction". (1973-74) Accomplished in pencil and brushed ink on 20 x 25.75 in. artist leaf. Jeff Jones mastered the art of illustration in many mediums. Without a doubt, his signature creation was Idyl, the idiosyncratic woman-child that graced the pages of National Lampoon magazine from 1972-1975. Done in an impressive large format, not unlike the classic Sunday pages of Foster, Herriman, and Raymond, the strip is mysterious and seductive at the same time. Jones' brushed ink technique gives the strip a rich look. "Idyl", the ever-pregnant ("with thought", according to Jones) beautiful brunette sits atop a dinosaur and ponders life. One of the finest Idyl strips Jones created, and certainly the finest Idyl strip ever to come to auction. Signed in lower right ,"J". Retaining publication notation in the lower margin. Exhibiting toning to artwork and clean pinholes to corners. In fine condition.Auction Info
