Item Description

A collectible, rare limited edition framed giclee on canvas measures 16x20".

Dick Duerrstein's passion for art, along with his love of Disney comics and movies, and a dream of someday working for the Walt Disney Studios happened in 1976. He began his career at Disney as one of their Creative Directors. He worked alongside many of the foremost animation artists of the 20th Century, including Ward Kimball, Marc Davis and with Chuck Jones at Warner Bros. For the next 22 years, Dick used his talent to develop his own unique style that is prevalent in his paintings today.

Inspired by diverse draftsman as Leonardo da Vinci and Von Dutch, Duerrstein found inspiration from the animation drawings of Chuck Jones. "I believe I bring the spontaneity of his [Chuck Jones] original drawing to the forefront of my paintings, where the viewer can see the action up close. The backgrounds reflect the age and use of the original drawings, grounding them in history." Duerrstein has been working on a series of paintings that explore the relationship between the drawn line and the personality of the cartoon characters made famous by the legendary creator and director, Chuck Jones.
