Drawing demands that the artist
pause, to be.
- Pat Oblak
If you paint a man leaning over,
your own back must ache.

Artistic Interpretation of Literary Figures

Posted by Charley Parker at 7:11 am

Dante Gabriel Rosetti by Barry Windsor Smith
This is an individual’s collection of art, mostly by comics artists, on the theme of lilterary figures. It includes drawings and paintings that offer the artist’s interpretation of literary characters, as well as portraits of writers (and occasionally artists). (The image shown is a portrait of Dante Gabriel Rosetti by Barry Windsor Smith.) The site is part of the Digital Medusa site that hosts several other collections of comic art.
