I keep painting their painting until they take the brush from me. at that moment, I know they are ready to do the job fine.

The obsequious young artist is handing the materials to the old guy at the latter's request, and maybe against the younger artist's better judgment. <br /><br />It's amazing how such subtleties of acting can be conveyed by a master draftsman. I love the way the young artist echoes the old guy's poses all the way along until the breaking point.<br /><br />Frank, yes, hanging the top of the canvas forward is for glare reduction.<br /><br />If you like A.B. Frost and want to see more, check out the inexpensive Dover reprint called "The Bull Calf and other Tales." As Steve said, he is the master of line and over-the-top exaggeration...though by today's standards, some of his stuff isn't exactly politically correct.James Gurneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01870848001990898499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-16580256457646133722009-06-07T17:55:00.402-04:002009-06-07T17:55:00.402-04:00why is that canvas slightly tilted by the top? red...why is that canvas slightly tilted by the top? reduce glares or something? anyways, great cartoon, although he could have done that in less pictures haha!frank gressiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11683937508476969823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-30113061295523900382009-06-07T17:54:54.823-04:002009-06-07T17:54:54.823-04:00And yet it's still funny.

Except for the fourth frame where the older artists request the tools by sticking out his hand sideways without facing the younger artist.<br />So the younger artist is not taking the initiative here.

I especially like the panel in which the "expert's" arm motions are a blur and the final panel; devastated despair. A.B. Frost is one of my all-time favorites. Connecting back to an earlier post about the relative importance of line vs. "tone," Frost's work is eloquent testimony to the power of line.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09596875722436085739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-79606086424552115582009-06-07T12:39:12.557-04:002009-06-07T12:39:12.557-04:00That's a great great cartoon.That's a great great cartoon.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
