Granpop Gets Down to Brass Tacks
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a humorous and sharp illustration by the renowned British artist, Lawson Wood, created in 1934. This charming print showcases Wood's signature anthropomorphic orang-utan character, Granpop, as he descends a ladder with a determined expression on his face. However, as he reaches the bottom, he comes face-to-face with an unexpected and painful surprise: a bed of brass tacks. Granpop's reaction to this mishap is priceless, as his face contorts into one of shock and pain, while his body language conveys a sense of disbelief. His porcine companion, who stands by and watches the scene unfold, finds the situation to be nothing short of hilarious. The pig's laughter is evident in the exaggerated lines and curves of his snout, adding to the overall comedic effect of the illustration. The title of the piece, "Granpop Gets Down to Brass Tacks," adds an additional layer of meaning to the image. The phrase "getting down to brass tacks" is an idiom that means getting to the heart of the matter or dealing with practicalities, which is exactly what Granpop appears to be doing before his unfortunate encounter with the brass tacks. This illustration is a classic example of Lawson Wood's slapstick humor and anthropomorphic style. The use of sharp lines, bright colors, and exaggerated expressions bring the characters to life, making for a visually engaging and entertaining piece. Whether you're a fan of Wood's work or simply appreciate a good laugh, "Granpop Gets Down to Brass Tacks" is sure to bring a smile to your face.
