Description

In 1929 Roszak traveled to Prague and met artists interested in making work from industrial materials such as metal and plastic. Inspired by them, he incorporated this approach into his own sculpture for the next few decades.
A sculpture of two spheres, the larger one white and the smaller one black, above two white, teardrop-shaped objects. The points of the teardrop-shaped objects are facing each other, one atop the other. The teardrop-shaped object at the bottom sits atop a white cylinder.

    American Gothic • Enamel Pin
    1.5" x 1.5" Soft Enamel Pin Double Posted Rubber Clasps Inspired by "American Gothic" by Grant Wood "American Gothic" is a painting by Grant Wood in the collection of the Art Institute of Chicago. Wood's inspiration came from what is now known as the American Gothic House, and his decision to paint the house along with "the kind of people I fancied should live in that house." Painted in 1930, it depicts a farmer standing beside a woman that has been interpreted to be either his wife or his daughter. The figures were modeled by Wood's sister, Nan Wood Graham, and Wood and Graham's dentist, Dr. Byron McKeeby. The woman is dressed in a colonial print apron evoking 19th-century Americana, and the man is holding a pitchfork. The plants on the porch of the house are mother-in-law's tongue and beefsteak begonia, which are the same plants as in Wood's 1929 portrait of his mother, Woman with Plants. Comes packaged with Pin Museum branded backer card, and a protective polybag.
