Joe Shannon 1
"Skull with Green Bottle", 1979

1979

About the Item

Acrylic on canvas painting by Joe Shannon (b.1933). Titled "Skull with green bottle." Signed and dated 1979. Acquired from a prominent Washington D.C. collection. New York Times art critic Grace Glueck observed that "Mr. Shannon's brisk way of painting his urban grotesqueries - he gets it all down like a born storyteller without too much fuss over how - belies their disturbing content. They don't stay with you too long, but they do evoke our age of anxiety." Joe Shannon has been exhibited and collected by numerous museums including, the Corcoran, Hirshhorn and Brooklyn Museums.
