About the Item

sight size is irregular. size includes frame.. In scrawly pencil lines, William Anthony outlines figures that look like sock puppets with oversize heads and sausage-shaped limbs. And if you look closely, you discover that his primitivistic lines are made with an exactingly delicate touch and that his smudgy brushwork has a finely tuned sensuousness of hue and surface. William Anthony, born 1934, Forth Monmouth, NJ. and grew up in Washington State. Education 1958 Yale, New Haven, CT, B.A European History 1959-60 San Francisco Art Institute, CA 1961 Art Students League, NY American painter and draftsman William Anthony was born 1934 in Fort Monmouth, New Jersey.

After graduating from Yale, he joined his family in California, where he attended the San Francisco Art Institute.

Two years later he moved to New York City. From 1977 to 1978, Anthony made a series of drawings for Andy Warhol's magazine Interview, and published another book Bible Stories. In 1983, he married Norma Neuman, and continued to produce and exhibit his art work, including solo exhibitions in New York, California, and Europe. In 1988, the Jargon Society published an additional book, Bill Anthony's Greatest Hits. In 2000 another book, War Is Swell, was published by Smart Art Press. Since then he has had five one-man exhibitions with Stalke Gallery, Denmark. In 2013 Stalke published a book of Anthony's work, Ironic Icons, by Sam Jedig.
