Large Western Painting by Carl Barks Stolen
Share:
stolen from the owner’s home in Texas. Barks, beloved Disney artist and creator
of Uncle Scrooge, painted this Western scene in 1982 and it is said to have been
one of his personal favorites. The attention to detail and time involved have
made this work an invaluable commodity to its owner. The painting, which depicts
a jovial bar scene in which a couple dances around cheering onlookers, is
measured at 22 x 28 inches. For a closer look at the painting, click the image
to the right of this article. If you have any information as to the painting’s
whereabouts, contact Diamond International Galleries at vjeff@gemstonepub.com, as it
would be a shame for this work not to be recovered and returned to the owner who
so values it.
