![‘A lush, charming scene filled with tropical greenery & beautiful, gentle animals welcomes the viewer of Jungle. This is no scientific study of a foreign land. The blackbuck at the far left is the only identifiable animal… This is a FANTASY JUNGLE, devoid of biting insects & threatening predators. The painting is as delightfully impossible as popular Depression-era jungle movies like the 1932 Tarzan, The Ape Man, featuring Indian elephants alongside African chimpanzees. The frustrated ape at the center of the painting is reminiscent of the chimps in the Tarzan movies. Like the Hollywood products of its day, this painting offers viewers a colorful temporary refuge from the grim realities of Depression-era America. The parallels between canvas & film are no accident. A few years earlier [he] had painted fantastic visions on the walls of Hollywood movie palaces like the Paramount Theatre & Grauman’s Theatre. ...'
