Description

"Jimmy and Amy at the hospital"
The Acme Novelty Library #14

I would like to thank Scott Eder for making this addition to my collection possible.

As you may have noticed Chris Ware has a central place in my collection and I consider this page as the best example I have.

On the top half of the page you can see our hero on the toilet in the hospital imagining his future encounter with his half-sister Amy. On the bottom half Amy is in the waiting room of the hospital - where their father has been brought in after a car accident - contemplating on meeting her half-brother.

A lot of details and references throughout the page. If you want to soak up the details I invite you to explore the additional images (and the great) zoom-function on 2DG. https://www.2dgalleries.com/art/chris-ware-jimmy-corrigan-208140

The fictional painting "Peaches" from C�zanne is based on the painting "Still Life With Cherries And Peaches" from the LACMA collection.
https://collections.lacma.org/node/233294

Peaches are playing an important symbolic role througout Jimmy Corrigan.

In the "CORRIGENDA" (at the back of Jimmy Corrigan) you can read:
PEACH (pēch) n. A Soft, single-seeded stone fruit, with a pinkish, red-tinted downy skin, and moist dewy flesh; the tree, Prunus Persica, is a native to China, but has been widely cultivated throughout the world, have been spread by the Romans and then brought by the Spanish to America. see SYMBOL

You can see my other page from Jimmy Corrigan (where Jimmy meets his grandfather) here: https://www.2dgalleries.com/art/chris-ware-jimmy-corrigan-45755
