dbo:abstract
  • Louis P. Hirshman (1905-1986) was an American artist known for his witty and imaginative use of found objects for caricatures of celebrities and politicians and, in later years, for scenes of everyday life. Unlike sketched or painted two-dimensional caricatures, these collages, known as constructions, are reliefs on glass-covered, framed flat boards created using common items and discarded junk, a genre which Bostonia magazine once dubbed the "Out-of-the-Ashcan School." His creations exaggerated the icons of his day, ranging from Adolf Hitler to Groucho Marx and President John F. Kennedy to Cuba's Fidel Castro, revealing their essence with gloves, spools of thread, peanut shells, and chains. (en)
