Description

Charles Burns "Mutant Tilley: New Yorker" 1993
Ink on paper 17" x 12 1/2"

"Mutant Tilley presents another gleeful twist, as Burns reimagines the magazine's monocled mascot as a sinewy demon with a pustulated neck, examining a hovering mosquito while posed against a postapocalyptic wasteland. It is the testament to the power of Burn's vision that the dandy looks every bit as forbidding as the B-movie monsters that surround him."
Excerpt of the Artforum review by Michael Wilson of the Charles Burns' exhibition at the Adam Baumgold gallery.

Believe it or not, the following is a compliment. I sometimes find that Charles Burns art is like a horrific traffic accident in that I want to turn away but I have to look.

Il y a plusieurs belles illustration de Burns sur le CAF, celle ci en fait incontestablement partie. Je la trouve vraiment splendide et très représentative de ce maître du noir et blanc .

Of everything I've seen by Burns, this might be his most genuinely subversive. Very nice.

A really powerful work - this is not just comics, it's modern art! Great piece.
