Art in the 1950's

These are some of the works created in the 1950's. Its shows the very beginning stages of self expression. Many of these include multiple medias like collage, paintings and the combining of found objects. The use of adding elements in a layered form gave the art depth, texture and interest. He built the paper on wood most of the time. Some of them may seem completely random in terms of placement of objects, but they truly are organized chaos. I am particularly drawn to Charlene with the pinwheel, dripping paint, little photos, and the build up of paper and paint that is all being controlled with designated areas.
