Artwork Details

DescriptionI’ve also started picking up some of Alex Raymond’s work, specifically Rip Kirby. Raymond was killed in a car crash at age 46, and the work he left behind shows a genius in the art form. Raymond’s use of blacks and shadows are extremely dramatic and cinematic. Seriously, these strips can be the subject of a class in inking. This one uses a lot of ink - all to good measure. In this piece (from “The Millbanks Murder Case”), note how he lit the newspaper reporter. He’s leaning into the shadow as he reports to his editor. The light is coming from outside of the phonebooth, highlighting where Desmond is listening in.Social/Sharing |

Raymond was a master of shadows, as this daily definitely exemplifies!

Terrific example! The handling is phenomenal and Raymond spotted his blacks perfectly. Such great expressions, poses, drapery, and staging
