BIRDLAND - Original Artist Print by Roy De Forest 1993 Funk Art Movement

Description: BIRDLAND - Original Artist Print by Roy De Forest 1993 Roy De Forest (11 February 1930 – 18 May 2007) was an American painter, sculptor, and teacher. He was involved in both the Funk art and Nut art movements in the Bay Area of California. De Forest's art is known for its quirky and comical fantasy lands filled with bright colors and creatures, most commonly dogs. Roy De Forest's works are considered to be part of the California Funk movement. Like East Coast Pop Art, Funk was a response to the oppressive gospel of abstract expressionism that dominated the aesthetic canon and art schools of post-WWII America. With a delightful lack of self-importance, Funk provided a welcome niche for iconoclastic figures such as De Forest known for his phantasmagorically chaotic images of cartoonish figures and cheerfully loony canines, rendered with a distinctive "paint drop kiss" technique. Roy De Forest is a true painting legend whose playful spirit and rich colorful palette endear his work to generations of collectors and art lovers.
