Even the artist's frame is decorated with explosive colors and patterns, as though the wild painting can barely be contained.⠀ .⠀ Born to a migrant farming family in Nebraska during the Great Depression, De Forest's fantastical animals and landscapes were directly inspired by growing up and working on the family farm.⠀ .⠀ De Forest helped usher in a regional California movement of artmaking loosely referred to as 'Funk' or 'Nut art' — the latter being a category coined by De Forest himself — for its wacky subject matter, raucous color and excessive compositions. Notable contemporaries in the movement include Robert Arneson, William T. Wiley and Peter Saul.⠀ .⠀ Roy De Forest (1930-2007), 'The Wolf Man', 1982. Estimate: $30,000-50,000.⠀ .⠀ First Open — 1-15 December, online.⠀ .⠀ #art #artist #roydeforest #deforest #firstopen #contemporaryart #funkart #nutart #wolfman」12月2日 16時25分
