Besides his insightful characterizations of American Life, legendary
Illustrator Murray Tinkelman's contribution to art history is his unique
style. Each work is composed of thousands of tiny cross-hatchings.
Meticulously observed and deftly executed with a patient and precise
hand, a Tinkelman is a delight to view and study. The closer you get to
it, the more you appreciate the artist's brilliant technique, which is
instantly recognizable as his own. The image is packed with
psychological tension, and with Tinkelman's signature technique, he
achieves a deeper level of realism. A comparison could be looking at a
Pointillist work by Georges Seurat, where, on close viewing, his
painting is composed of a myriad of abstract tiny dots, but at a
distance, the viewer's eye and brain "mix" these dots into a fuller
range of tones, creating a clearer but vibrant image. Tinkelman departs
from Pointillism to create his own unique visual style based only on
lines.
Murray Tinkelman's original pen-and-ink unpublished Western
cover art for Zane Grey's Majesty's Rancho. Ultimately, the publisher
used a similar Tinkelman work, incorporating two additional figures
around the subject. From Mr. Tinkelman's estate. Matted by the artist;
Signed lower right.
Matted but not framed.
