Description
A masterful re-imagining of L. Frank Baum’s beloved American fairytale, Scott Gustafson’s "The Wizard of Oz" is a hallmark of contemporary fantasy illustration. Published by the renowned Greenwich Workshop in 1999, this expansive horizontal composition captures the core ensemble—Dorothy, Toto, the Scarecrow, the Tin Woodman, and the Cowardly Lion—as they traverse a lush, hyper-detailed landscape toward the glimmering Emerald City.
Gustafson is celebrated for his "Old Master" approach to golden-age storytelling, utilizing rich textures and a sophisticated color palette that elevates the characters beyond mere caricature. This specific lithograph is a rare find for collectors, preserved in its original publisher-issued protective sleeve for over a quarter-century, ensuring the ink saturation and paper integrity remain as vibrant as the day it was pulled from the press.
