Realistic Pencil Drawing of Man Using a Flying Contraption from Brewster McCloud

1978

About the Item

Realistic pencil drawing of a man using a flying contraption. Inspired by Robert Altman's 1970 dark comedy film Brewster McCloud. The film follows a young recluse (Bud Cort, as the title character) who lives in a fallout shelter of the Houston Astrodome, where he is building a pair of wings in order to fly. He is helped by his comely and enigmatic "fairy godmother," played by Sally Kellerman, as he becomes a suspect in a series of murders, of which a vain, haughty hot-shot detective lieutenant from San Francisco, played by Michael Murphy, soon becomes hot on his trail. Signed and dated by artist in the bottom margin. Currently hung in a complimentary black frame with a grey mat.
