Roy Krenkel - Original Art Rough for Tarza...
Roy Krenkel - Original Art Rough for Tarzan the Magnificent (Ace Books, 1962). An associate of such industry legends as Wally Wood, Frank Frazetta and Al Williamson during the 1950s, Krenkel quickly made his mark on the illustration field and was hired to provide covers for a series of Ace paperbacks that reprinted stories by Edgar Rice Burroughs and others in the early 1960s. The piece offered here, the largest and most detailed rough Krenkel ever did, shows Tarzan riding a savage lion. Even in this preliminary process, Krenkel's dynamic use of light and shadow is evident. With just a few brushstrokes, Krenkel perfectly captures the mood and the movement of the moment, ushering us into a very different world. Framed, the piece measures 10.5" x 13.5", with an image area of approximately 7.5" x 5", and is unsigned. From the collection of Russ Cochran.
