31: DAVID SHAPIRO (1944-2014) 1977 MIXED MEDIA WITH COLLAGE

David Shapiro (1944-2014)
(1977)
The distinctive work resembling a sort of constellation of symbols and forms is drawn, painted, stamped and collaged on Strathmore paper, achieving a tension and an effect that some critics have likened to the dance of magnets simultaneously attracting and repelling one another. The work is signed in pencil and dated just below the image. The four larger squares are tabs of painted and applied paper.

This work of art is from the collection of the Kansas City artist Ron slowinski and shares elements with Ron's Hopi Flower series paintings.
Image measures 13 x 11 with a framed size of 30.25 x 24.25 inches.

Provenance: The Estate of Ronald Slowinski.
