작품 상세

Leo Jensen (1926-2019), 'Girl with Lobster'. Painted wood mounted to board. Signed, titled, and dated on back. Stamped 'LJ Made in USA' in LR corner. American, 1965.  Pop artist Leo Jensen turned a winking eye on America, producing irreverent art that is nevertheless serious in its cultural observations. Known best regionally for his bronze frog sculptures on the Thread City Crossing Bridge in Willimantic, CT, Jensen infused his work with humor as well as thought-provoking reflections on modern American society. His paintings, sculptures, and assemblages of recycled materials borrow from the signs and symbols he saw in his youth, when he traveled as a fancy horseback rider in Depression-era circuses and rodeos, and developed further when he moved to Connecticut after art school. H 84 in. W 42 in. D 2 in.  Condition: Minor imperfections from age. Small spots of discoloration to left center edge and knee of girl. Small spots of paint missing from nail heads around border.  Link to high-res images: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/xbr4kwnm904c5gu6m1bmn/ACM37ZGf1_OKhBococJeBZ4?rlkey=i0r8y3a91lhi9y9da5xw5l5av&st=vgo1flmy&dl=0
