Description
James Harold Jennings (NC, 1930-1999), Totem Pole with Bird House
red, white, and blue paint on wood, single aperture bird dwelling painted with a dog alongside, signed on the underside of the upright board, signature is indistinct but legible.
114 x 7 x 8 in.
Jennings work is noticeable for its colorful and sometimes complex, painted dots as well as astral forms. One series of pieces featured women beating up men and was apparently inspired by reading about Celtic and Amazon women. When inspiration failed, Jennings resorted to a favorite trick of pressing fingertips against closed eyelids. Calling himself the “sun, moon and star artist,” he frequently incorporated these symbols within his work as well as included them with his signature.
Acquired directly from the artist by the consignor
From the Collection of James Boyles and David Hawkins, Chapel Hill, North Carolina
