- Lot Description
Fernando Krahn (Chilean, 1935-2010). "Black Fantasy" acrylic paint and black ink on canvas, ca. 1980s. A striking piece by Chilean artist and cartoonist Fernando Krahn, depicting a lovable bovine creature in composite profile, with a sizeable body, a long tail, and an endearing visage facing the viewer at the lower left. Krahn's graphic sensibility really comes through in this playful composition - from the whimsical nature of the overall form to the countless, meticulously detailed design motifs that embellish the animal's body. Size: 40.125" L x 39.875" W (101.9 cm x 101.3 cm)
Fernando Krahn was a Chilean artist and cartoonist whose works were published in The New Yorker, The Atlantic, The Reporter, and Esquire. He fleed Chile to escape persecution following a coup d'etat in 1973 and relocated to Spain where he published more than 40 children's books, earning the SM Ediciones International Illustration Prize in 2001. After receiving a John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation fellowship, Krahn made his first animated film entitled, "El crimen perfecto" (The Perfect Crime) in 1976. In 1984, he began working for a Barcelona newspaper entitled La Vanguardia, and would continue creating artwork for the rest of his life.
