- Lot Description
Lot #45: Jeff Butler
Yes...But Is It Art, 2020
Ink on Bristol board
30 x 30 in.
$400
Jeff Butler is one of Wisconsin's most accomplished cartoonists. In 1983, he co-created Badger, a Madison based superhero who communicates with animals and dispenses justice to bad guys. Butler was commissioned to create a work for the lead-in wall of Wisconsin Funnies: Fifty Years of Comics. A stuffy critic-type stands in front of Roy Lichtenstein's Whaam!-itself based on a panel from DC Comics' All-American Men of War-and ponders whether this appropriation of Pop culture constitutes art. A skateboard-toting youth provides the eminently sensible answer: "It's comics!!" Butler's work has graced the pages of The Green Hornet, Godzilla vs. Charles Barkley, X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Marvel: Ultimate Alliance, and Dungeons and Dragons. This lot includes one copy of the Wisconsin Funnies: Fifty Years of Comics exhibition catalog.
The winning bidder agrees to allow the work to remain on view in Wisconsin Funnies: Fifty Years of Comics through November 22, 2020.
