EDITORS COMMENTS
The vibrant colour litho print captures a whimsical moment in the animal kingdom, showcasing the artwork titled ""I cannot bring myself to believe that this is a very witty animal"". Created by the talented John Hassall, this piece of art resides in a private collection. Depicting an amusing scene from Walter Emanuel's book "The Zoo", the illustration brings together humour and animals in perfect harmony. A comically large-nosed hippopotamus steals the spotlight as it lounges inside its cage at the zoological gardens. Its expression seems to challenge viewers' expectations, leaving them questioning whether this creature possesses wit beyond its appearance. Hassall's attention to detail shines through as he masterfully portrays every element of this entertaining spectacle. The water surrounding the hippopotamus adds depth and movement to the composition, while also emphasizing its natural habitat. With his unique artistic style, Hassall manages to infuse life into each stroke of his brush. This delightful print not only showcases Hassall's talent but also invites us to appreciate nature's ability to surprise and amuse us. It serves as a reminder that even within seemingly ordinary creatures lies potential for unexpected charm and wit. Bridgeman Images presents this piece from their Fine Art Finder collection, allowing art enthusiasts worldwide to enjoy and explore its playful narrative without commercial use restrictions.
