Nude Playboy Cartoon, First African American Illustrator Elmer Simms Campbell
-
Description
Elmer Simms Campbell was the first and top black commercial artist in the USA for decades.
In "Grandma," we see a deeply conceptual work, with the blank canvas as the main point of the painting.
The rising flame from the Zippo lighter supports the hotness concept, which the viewer fills in with his/her imagination. The absence of a male presence adds to the picture's intrigue.
Signed lower left. unframed.
