More From the Space Makers

 


I have a few more pieces from the Space Makers exhibit I told you about in yesterday's post.  This first one is a painting by Peter Busa who was a founding member of the Space Makers artists.  This one is called "Children's Hour".

Busa was a friend of Jackson Pollock and influenced some of Pollock's work.














This piece is by Dyani White Hawk.  The photo doesn't show how shiny those copper space are.  It's one of those pieces that as you walk past, it appears to be moving.














These last two paintings are by Steve Wheeler, another founding member of the Space Makers artists.  This one is called "The Magic Horn" and it was painted in 1942.

This one is called "Woman Eating Hot Dog" and let me tell you, I stared at this painting for a long time trying to locate the woman.  I still haven't found her but I'm guessing the hot dog had all the fixings on it. The colors of mustard, catsup and relish are present in this painting.

I did a Google search on each of these artist's names and found a rainbow of colorful works from each of them.  It was quite entertaining.
