Lot description
56. Michael Kaluta “The Shadow” over Earth painting. (1988) Accomplished in ink, watercolor and mixed media on 14.75 x 19 in. artist leaf. Kaluta surely is the definitive illustrator of the pulp hero The Shadow and he alone was able to recreate the 1920s period feel to the character, although Kaluta drew him much later in the century. Kaluta created this lovely work as a commission, and it depicts the classic Shadow figure overlooking the Earth and space. Finely detailed and colored to perfection. Signed in ink at left center, “M Kaluta 1988”. Exhibiting tape remnant to upper edge of verso. In very fine condition. $4,000 - $6,000
