R.B. Kitaj, one of the most erudite and literate of the Young British Pop artists coming of age in the late 1950s, was known for creating works that present the viewer with a range of historical, literary, religious and artistic references, including books, art, events, or significant figures of the past; implicit (and explicit) to these works is his cultural commentary. The present work, Pogany, is a classic example, as it features five sketched heads which are reminiscent of Constantine Brancusi’s sculpted heads of Mademoiselle Pogany that were created in the early 20th century. However, above are five modern and risque images, accompanied by textual commentary featuring sexual and provocative messages - i.e. "Having secured a customer, the prostitute leads him to her apartment. He does not want to walk with her, only follow.."
This is a rare mid 1960s print, published in a limited edition of only 70. Many editions of "Pogany" are already in major museum and public collections worldwide and it is very difficult nowadays to come by this piece. The present work has gentle creases and handling marks throughout (please take a look at the additional photographs included after the first stock header image), that could be straightened or would frame out, but do note the condition issues of this vintage piece, and buy as is. (unframed)
A terrific work on paper by this fascinating artist. Quintessential Kitaj. Especially uncommon stateside.

- 'Untitled' original 1960s signed serigraph silver abstract vintage train pop artLocated in Milwaukee, WIIn this untitled serigraph, Vincent DiMattio combines the aesthetics of the space age with Pop Art sensibilities and techniques. In the postwar era of the 1950s and 1960s, the United States was in the midst of a period of economic growth for the middle class, and so the trappings and imagery of middle class life became the subjects of a number of artists. While figures like Andy Warhol focused on images of celebrities and soup cans, here DiMattio looks to robots and rockets. At the far left, a figure appears with a round green head and a small clamping arm. To the right, a form like a tank with phallic protrusions, one with a head like the form of a space ship. These signs all alight with the space age toys...Category
