Description
Carl Barks A 1934 Belchfire Runabout! CB-OIL 127 Painting Original Art (1984). Few Barks paintings are this large, and few have as many characters!If you've been lucky enough to see any Barks' originals before, you may well have seen the ones that are 14" x 18" or 16" x 20" -- those are positively dwarfed by this one measuring 29.5" x 23.5"! We can only think of one painting he ever did that's larger, and the number of same-sized paintings can be counted on two hands.
This painting (CB-OIL 127) was created to celebrate Donald Duck's 50th birthday. It stars one of the largest casts to be found in any Barks painting: A-listers Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Pluto, and Uncle Scrooge are joined by Daisy Duck, Grandma Duck, Gladstone Gander, Gyro Gearloose, Horace Horsecollar, and quite a few others to boot.
This painting was used to produce the fourth of the Another Rainbow limited edition prints in 1984.
By the way, The title "1934 Belchfire Runabout" refers to Donald's car -- even if you didn't know it by name you likely recognize its familiar license plate "313". The car began appearing in Donald's newspaper strip in the late 1930s.
Created in oil on Masonite board, it is signed in the lower left of the 29.5" x 23.5" image area. Open front framed to 44.5" x 39", and in Excellent condition.
