More Information: Cuddly as a Cactus, limited edition giclée on canvas, available in 2 sizes: 17.5” x 12” and 23” x 16”, $650.00 and $850.00 respectively. The Grinch is a character of mean spirit and questionable mores who moves with a hip-rolling swagger, a wicked gleam glittering in his eye. His character, immortalized in book, song and film (pre-1967,) is archetypically one of the great green Grinches of all time. (Oh, there are other Grinches throughout the world’s historical lore, but Dr. Seuss was the first to give it name and Chuck Jones was the first to bring it to life.) Cuddly as a Cactus, a limited edition giclée on canvas, has been created from an original oil painting by Chuck Jones. Painted circa 1996, Cuddly as a Cactus flaunts the character’s moral flaws (thieving, lying) while simultaneously juxtaposing those against the icy pure colors of a first snow (white, lavender and blue.) Chuck Jones’ classical art education comes to the forefront of this painting as he revels in texture, brushstroke and color; bringing us a fully rendered iconic individual. "You're a mean one, Mr. Grinch. You really are a heel. You're as cuddly as a cactus, You're as charming as an eel. Mr. Grinch." |
