I gave the first few tours of the Delaware show, and in every group there was at least one distinguished, aristocratic gentleman whose eyes would light up when we came to the Drucker section: "Mort Drucker????? I LOVE Mort Drucker! He changed my whole life!" These were bankers, lawyers, architects-- people who hadn't seen or thought about Drucker's work for 30 years, but they were immediately transported back to their childhood when they saw Mort's work.<br /><br />James Gurney-- Thanks, James. I knew you were an artist of taste and distinction. And while we're talking about museum exhibitions, I hope everyone makes it to see <a href="http://www.nhia.edu/dinotopia-the-fantastical-art-of-james-gurney-2" rel="nofollow">your great Dinotopia exhibition</a> before the show closes on March 13.<br /><br />Paulo Goncalves-- welcome!<br /><br />JSL-- Yes, the disparity between Drucker's originals and the published versions can be quite dramatic. Come to Delaware and see.

When I finally got around to seeing the movies, it was hard to take them seriously. Same thing happened from hearing the Stan Freberg music satires before the real things. It's incredible that Drucker got such great likenesses without the cooperation of the movie studios most of the time, and he had to get the movie stills from the "black market."James Gurneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01870848001990898499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12189014.post-39826601805061538422013-02-22T19:11:26.571-05:002013-02-22T19:11:26.571-05:00Mort Drucker, more than any other artist on the pl...Mort Drucker, more than any other artist on the planet, is THE reason I went to art school, and for all the reasons you mention, faces, expressions, SHOES hands, body types, gesture, nuanced line work, wicked visual humor. He should be in the Hall of Fame, but that is another story. Thanks for these juicy examples. I am sitting in the backseat of the car, and fighting little brother over 'Mad' all over again.chuck pylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13361190681085703628noreply@blogger.com
