"On the Hook"
| 🔎 Enlarge main image in new window |
- On the Hook is a dream-like, mixed media 'mashup' reflecting our anxious times, drawing upon historic source images: Two twentieth-century photographs by American sociologist and photographer Lewis Hine, the first depicting a worker at the Empire State Building construction site, and the other immortalizing a ca. 1910 newsboy smoking; a U.S. Army photograph, dating from the Korean War of one soldier comforting another after a loss; and, of course, illustrator James Montgomery Flagg's iconic Uncle Sam Army recruitment poster
- Made with watercolor, pen-and-inks, colored pencils and Windsor & Newton pigmented markers with sgraffito (scraping) on clay-coated paper
- Image measures 16-3/4 by 11-3/4 inches (as shown, sheet slightly larger)
- Created in 2017 (Previously sold, re-acquired by the artist purchase in 2023)
- Signed by the artist with his monogram cipher (PG) and dated "2017", lower left; signed again with the artist's full name and inscribed with the title on the reverse
