The Worlds Most Miserable Man Gets Bad News

Creator: Gahan Wilson
Offered by: Robert Funk Fine Art

Description
The world’s most miserable man is served up bad news. Depressed and down on his luck, he receives news of only a brief respite to crawl out of his inky black abyss of misery. The caption reads, " Please understand I can offer you only the fleeting illusion of happiness. In just a few lines, Gahan Wilson captures the essence of living in a state of suffering, a testament to his brilliant technical artistry. Paired with Wilson's gift of draughsmanship is the fact that he is a thinking artist. Gahan Wilson is a conceptual artist, first and foremost, and then a cartoonist. Along with Charles Addams, his deep body of work puts him at the very top of the world's premier thinkers in fine art.
