"KAWS" Brian Donnelly (New Jersey, 1974)."Alone again", 2019.Silkscreen on paper.Publisher: MOCAD (Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit).Features ink stamp of the artist.Signed and dated.Size: 25.5 x 20.5 cm; 47.5 x 42.5 cm (frame).Brian Donnelly, known professionally as Kaws (stylised as KAWS), is an American artist and designer. His work includes the repeated use of a cast of figurative characters and motifs, some of which date back to the beginning of his career in the 1990s, initially painted in 2D and later realised in 3D. Some of his characters are his own creations, while others are modified versions of existing icons. Kaws' sculptures range in size from a few centimetres to ten metres tall, and are made of various materials including fibreglass, aluminium, wood, bronze and an inflatable steel pontoon raft. His work is exhibited in galleries and museums, held in permanent collections in public institutions, and avidly collected by individuals, including music producer Swizz Beatz and rapper Pharrell Williams. Several books illustrating his work have been published. He lives and works in Brooklyn, New York, creating sculptures, acrylic paintings on canvas and screen prints, while also collaborating commercially, predominantly on limited edition toys, but also on clothing, skateboards and other products.Kaws' work can be characterised by an emphasis on colour and line, distinctive graphics, such as the repeated use of "x" in the hands and eyes, and a re-appropriation of pop culture icons such as Mickey Mouse, the Michelin Man, the Smurfs, Snoopy, and Snoopy. Snoopy, and SpongeBob SquarePants. His characters are generally depicted in a timid or helpless pose often with their hands over their eyes.
PHILIPPE HALSMAN (Riga, 1906 - New York, 1979)."Cosmic Dalí", 1948.Photograph on silver gelatin.Presents signature, and stamp "Copyright by Philippe Halsman" on the back.Size: 20.5 x 17.5 cm; 44.5 x 41.5 cm (frame).Halsman studied electrical engineering in Dresden, after being accused of the murder of his father, he spent two years in prison. On his release Halsman decided to move to France, where he began contributing to fashion magazines such as Vogue and soon earned a reputation as one of France's finest portrait photographers. Famous for his sharp rather than soft-focus, tightly cropped images. When France was invaded by Germany, Halsman fled to Marseille. He eventually managed to obtain an American visa, with the help of his family friend Albert Einstein, whom he later photographed in 1947. Halsman had his first success in the United States when the cosmetics firm Elizabeth Arden used his image of model Constance Ford against the American flag in an advertising campaign for "Victory Red" lipstick. A year later, in 1942, he found work at Life magazine, photographing hat designs; in 1941 Halsman met the surrealist artist Salvador Dalí and they began collaborating in the late 1940s. The 1948 work Dalí Atomicus explores the idea of suspension, depicting three cats flying, a bucket of water being thrown and Dalí in the air. The title of the photograph is a reference to Dalí's work Leda Atomicus, which can be seen on the right of the photograph behind the two cats. Halsman and Dalí eventually published a compendium of their collaborations in the 1954 book Dali's Moustache, which presents 36 different views of the artist's distinctive moustache. Another famous collaboration between the two was In Voluptas Mors, a surrealist portrait of Dalí next to a large skull, in fact a tableau vivant composed of seven nudes. In 1947 Halsman took what would become one of his most famous photographs of a mournful Albert Einstein, who during the shoot recounted his regret at his role in the United States pursuing the atomic bomb. The photo would later be used in 1966 on a US postage stamp and, in 1999, on the cover of Time magazine, when it called Einstein the "Person of the Century". In 1951, NBC commissioned Halsman to photograph several popular comedians of the time, including Milton Berle, Sid Caesar, Groucho Marx and Bob Hope. The photographer developed a philosophy of jump photography, which he called jumpology. He published Philippe Halsman's Jump Book in 1959, which contained an ironic discussion of jumpology and 178 photographs of famous jumpers.
