Description
Jack Kirby Oversized Collage Original Art (1969). In the hippie-dippy trippy late 1960s and into the 1970s, Jack Kirby produced many wild and fantastic collages of magazine art. He was as adept at this as he was the master of dynamic action. Many of his works turned up as backgrounds in some of his wilder stories in Fantastic Four, and in the Fourth World titles at DC. Due to the limitation of four-color printing, they were sometimes presented in black and white, with four-color comic art on top. This unfortunately dropped out all of the depth and subtly of the original works. Here we can see Jack's vision in all of its psychedelic wonder. You can spend hours searching out hidden details in this enormous piece! Near countless pieces of paper, each carefully trimmed to the image edge, and then skillfully positioned and glued down by Jack Kirby's hand. This in an incredibly personal connection to his work and the man himself. The matted piece has an image area of 57" x 18". It seems to be produced on two sheets of board that are matted as one image and Plexiglas front framed to 61" x 22.5". They are signed and dated in the image area on the lower left side. There is some degradation of the paper in the middle where the sections join, and light wear on the paper edges in places. Overall in Very Good condition. A true piece of art from one of the old masters of our industry.More information about Jack Kirby. See also: Kirby, Jack, Jacob Kurtzberg, Kurtzberg, Jacob Artist.
