Description

Margaret Brundage (American, 1900-1976)
The Carnal God, Weird Tales pulp magazine cover, June 1937
Pastel on board
17-1/8 x 16 inches (43.5 x 40.6 cm)
Signed lower left: M. Brundage

Margaret Brundage set the standard for Weird Tales art with her mystical and provocative covers, which appeared on 66 issues of the iconic pulp magazine. Her work is instantly recognizable-often featuring erotically charged damsels in distress, rich, surreal colors, and a sweeping, graceful style. The Carnal God depicts a muscular, glowing idol who seems to dance with the scantily clad beauty he holds captive, typifiying the signature mix of peril and seduction that defines her work.
