About the Item
In “Monkey Around,” George A. Gonzalez transports the viewer into a whimsical world where imagination knows no bounds. At the center of the canvas, a vibrant red monkey with elongated limbs stands precariously on one leg atop a glass ball. With remarkable agility, the monkey balances effortlessly, its gaze fixed intently on a cascade of colorful jelly candies suspended in mid-air.
Gonzalez’s use of surrealism imbues the scene with a sense of magic and wonder, inviting the viewer to suspend disbelief and embrace the fantastical. The monkey’s elongated limbs defy the constraints of reality, adding a playful dynamism to the composition. Its vibrant red fur contrasts strikingly against the dark, mysterious backdrop, creating a sense of depth and intrigue.
Balancing atop the glass ball, the monkey juggles an array of jelly candies with deft precision. Each candy is rendered with exquisite detail, from their translucent hues to their glistening texture, evoking a sense of sweetness and delight. The juxtaposition of the monkey’s mischievous antics against the backdrop of darkness adds a layer of tension and excitement to the scene.
Through expert use of color and contrast, Gonzalez creates a visual spectacle that captivates the imagination and ignites the senses. The bright, vibrant hues of the monkey and candies pop against the deep, velvety darkness of the background, drawing the viewer into a world of whimsy and enchantment.
“Monkey Around” is more than just a painting—it’s a celebration of the boundless possibilities of the imagination. Signed by the artist, this captivating artwork is sure to spark joy and wonder in viewers of all ages, making it a cherished addition to any collection.

Berninghaus (American, 1874-1952) "Winter Pasture" Oil on Canvas Unframed: 20 x 24 inches Framed: 25.5 x 29.5 inches Provo: Noonan-Kocian Gallery, St. Louis, Missouri, Dec. 23, 1954 (Copy of Original Receipt Included) * Will be included in Kodner Gallery's upcoming Oscar E. Berninghaus Research Project on the artist A founder in 1898 of the Taos Society of Artists, Oscar Berninghaus excelled at drawing animals and figures in contemporary garb in Southwestern landscapes. Many of his early paintings were Impressionistic, "suffused with color and light". (Gerdts 254) He was born in St. Louis, Missouri and developed an interest in art through his family's lithography business. He attended night classes at the St. Louis School of Fine Art. In 1898, he was on an illustration assignment for "McClure's" magazine, which took him for the first of many times into New Mexico and Arizona. He had heard of the special beauty of Taos and there met Bert Geer Phillips, who was already a resident, and Phillips invited him to return. This visit began a tradition of spending the winter months in St. Louis and the summers in Taos. He remained active in both communities, and for many years designed the costumes and floats for the Veiled Prophet parade, a famous annual event in St. Louis. He also did a series of western scenes commissioned by the Anheuser-Busch Brewing Association to promote a manly, ruggedness theme in their products and to enhance their image as good Americans, an image that was being attacked by suffragettes. In this capacity and without visiting the area, Berninghaus did a painting titled "Old Faithful, Yellowstone" in 1914, which was used as a calendar illustration in the series. Berninghaus was a sketch artist for the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad to depict landscape of Colorado...Category
