Surreal Men's Fashion from the Groovy 1970s - Dragon Fly Rene Magritte Clouds

Creator: Wilson McLean
Offered by: Robert Funk Fine Art

Description
This surreal Men's Fashion illustration with a dragonfly is staged in an inside/outside setting against dreamlike Rene Magritte clouds. Of particular note is how the artist cropped the head off the background figure as he floats above the floor, while the foreground figure's colorful shirt patterns take flight. McLean's highly inventive ideas add to the mystery and an illusionistic quality of the work.
oil on canvas fashion painting, Initialed WM lower right.
