Superman Classic re-creation (H.J. Ward)

In 1940 legendary artist H.J. Ward painted what many felt was the ultimate Superman portrait. The original art (oil on canvas) hung for years and years in the DC Comics Board Room. (It now resides at Lehman College) As a fan of Superman art of this era... I've always wanted this piece, but of course that would be impossible. So in 2004 I commissioned the great artist Terry Twigg to paint a re-creation. His is done in pastels and is AMAZING. SO faithful to the original... the image here just doesn't do it justice. Of all the superhero art I've got, this is the one most commented on. (Sorry for the angle I had to photograph the art from. It's framed and is therefor hard to photograph.)
