Quentin Blake (b. 1932)
Charlie, Willie Wonka and Grandpa Joe
An Alternative Version produced for the 2016 Roald Dahl Centenary Portraits project, celebrating 100 years since the author’s birth: Charlie, Willie Wonka, and Grandpa Joe are among the famous Roald Dahl characters depicted in a series of ten portraits by Quentin Blake, who explained the project thus: ‘The Roald Dahl Centenary Portraits ask you to imagine that a number of Dahl’s characters have been invited to come and sit for their portrait; they are depicted, not quite as they appear in the illustrations, but more formally … I hope visitors will be happy to see this group of well-known characters treated as though they were real people – which, of course, to many of us they are’.
Watercolour, pencil, watercolour paper, signed.
760 x 565mm
