Snow Fun 15"x 20 " Large lithograph (1990) |
|||
Loosely based on the cover to Walt Disney's Comics & Stories 89 (published in February, 1948, and featuring just Donald Duck and nephews Huey, Dewey and Louie), Carl Barks' oil painting, Snow Fun, encompasses a wider field of vision and a different angle, and so - lo and behold! - it turns out that Daisy Duck, Gladstone Gander and Uncle Scrooge McDuck are observers to the boys' prank. As Donald takes off on his sled in one direction, their 1940s pet dog, a Saint Bernard named Bolivar, chases a fox across a frozen pond in the background.Snow Fun is the sixteenth Walt Disney oil painting by Barks to be reproduced in the regular, full-size semi-annual and continuing limited edition lithograph series. Printed by the Black Box in Chicago, in an image measuring 15" x 20" on 20 ½" x 25" paper, it is available in a Regular Edition of 345 copies, 100 Gold Plates and five (5) boxed sets of Progressive Proofs. 395 have been set aside for foreign editions. |
