Description
VERY FINE SHACK "MOSES" SIZE 15W x 15H x 10L Inches.Famed for her political statements and desire to affect others towards just causes BEVERLY BUCHANAN uses art to make powerful aesthetic and political statments."Buchanan is best known for her many paintings and sculptures on the "shack," a rudimentary dwelling associated with the poor.Scholar Janet T. Marquardt argues that Buchanan treats shacks not as documentary elements but as "images of endurance and personal history"; often using bright colors and a style of childlike simplicity, the works "evoke the warmth and happiness that can be found even in the meanest dwelling, representing the faith and caring that is not reserved for privileged classes." Her art takes the form of stone pedestals, bric-a brac assemblages, funny poems, self portraits and sculptural shacks. But potent themes of identity, place and collective memory unite the works uncovering the animus that runs through them: to connect with those around her and reckon with the history that shaped her communities"...The item is in excellent condition with only minor signs of aging. Platform rules require the listing to be offered as style of work... works by an unknown creator that is directly approved by the original artist (assistant professional, think Madoura) or simply an artist under the influence of the style of the named master artist.Note:International buyers may not be able to receive the frame due to size (if applicable).
