Le retour de Tarzan 1972

"Le retour de Tarzan" is a 1972 painting by Belgian artist Evelyne Axell. The painting depicts a scene from the Tarzan story, with the iconic hero returning from the jungle to find a woman waiting for him. The painting is notable for its bold colors, simplified forms, and playful take on the classic character. Axell was known for her Pop Art-inspired work, which often featured themes of sexuality and fantasy. The artist tragically died the same year the artwork was created, making this piece one of her final works. The vibrant colors and playful imagery reflect the playful and fun style that defined much of her artistic output.
