Maggie and Jiggs (after Van Gogh and McManus)
Pairing:
Vincent's Bedroom in Arles by Vincent van Gogh
Image of Bringing Up Father comic strip created by George McManus
Acrylic on canvas
Dimensions: 27" x 36"
Artist's Insights:
Q. It looks as if Maggie, Jiggs and Nora are right at home in van Gogh's bedroom!
A. It took a lot of adjusting but it finally came together. I found a place for the telephone table! There's a shift here not only in chronology but in painting style. Van Gogh's multi-brushstrokes of subdued colors contrasts with the hard edge, black-lined, bright colored faces and clothing of the cartoon characters. This is a very popular piece.
