Out of this World: the art of Josh Kirby
Painted 1972, Pan 1972
19th century French author Guy de Maupassant’s entertainingly macabre tale The Hand, about an independently mobile body part, inspired this painting for the 1972 horror paperback, Tales of Supernatural Terror. Kirby creates a deliciously literal representation from de Maupassant’s description.
