DISNEY PAINTINGS

 

REMARKS:

1. The lists in the sub-pages have been given the code numbers that Barks used. For example, his first duck painting from 1971 is also known as 1-71, but it was actually booked and coded as 13-71 indicating that Barks had already finished 12 other paintings (landscapes and portraits) that year.
2. Barks' selling prices - all in dollars, of course - were based on two important factors; the size of the individual painting and how much work (how much detail) was necessary. Barks added a mandatory 5% tax to the prices.
3. Several times Barks gave a 10% discount off the agreed prices. The prices shown are all his net prices.
4. The purchasers of the paintings were a mixture of friends and collectors. Their names are all known to this website, but they will not be revealed without the consent of the individual buyers.
5. A few of the paintings never received an official title. Brief descriptions (which are Barks' own words) are placed within parentheses.
6. The paintings are made using oil or acrylic colours (see more
HERE).
7. Many of the painting motifs can be found in this website as preliminary sketches.
8
. The rendered sizes of the paintings in the sub-pages are not comparative to each other but merely sized to meet the standard layout design for the pages.
