The Life of David

I Samuel 17 (1992) (3 1/2" x 5")

collage on paper

This series of collages is closely related to the Jude series previously posted in that they are 3 1/2" x 5" collages on paper based on illustrations from an old Jules Verne book. This time, however, colored illustrations from other sources are included to give a quite different feel to the collages. The book used was Michael Strogoff, whose heroic feats reminded me of the life of David.

In this first piece, David volunteers his services to King Saul to kill the giant Goliath.
