Description

Richard Corben - Life Study Nude Illustration Original Art (2001). This 2001 nude study by Richard Corben, best known for his work in Heavy Metal magazine and underground comics, reveals a quieter, more intimate side of the artist. Known for his exaggerated fantasy anatomy and horror storytelling, Corben here uses soft, expressive linework and natural textures to capture a serene moment of repose in a pastoral setting. Drafted in graphite with an image area of 9.25" x 13.25"; plexiglass-front framed to 15.25" x 19.5". Signed and dated in the lower right of the image area. Exhibits light handling. Unexamined out of frame. Comes with a COA from Heritage Auctions. From the personal collection of Guillermo del Toro.
