About the Item
A mixed media Dada collage by Ron Wilman. The work is signed bottom right and resigned, dated and fully titled to the back panel, 'Colours May Fade Keep From Direct Sunlight. Dust My Broom (for Elmore James)'. There is also an exhibition label for 1986. presented in a custom made wood and glass case.
Wilman has been inspired by the compositions of the Dada movement and the likes of artists such as Marcel Duchamp and Picasso. He has collated a selection of objects related to the theme of the work and things more esoteric, like the photo of the eye with the fingerprint. An amusing and thought provoking art piece.
Dada was an art movement formed during the First World War in Zurich in negative reaction to the horrors and folly of the war. The art, poetry and performance produced by dada artists is often satirical and nonsensical in nature. This collage was exhibited as part of the Nicaragua Solidarity Campaign in 1986. This is a movement supporting peace and progress for the people of Nicaragua.
Elmore James was an American blues guitarist, singer, songwriter, and bandleader. Noted for his use of loud amplification and his stirring voice, James was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1992. His slide guitar technique earned him the nickname "King of the Slide Guitar".
In 1951, Elmore James recorded the song as "Dust My Broom" and "made it the classic as we know it", according to blues historian Gerard Herzhaft. James' slide guitar adaptation of Johnson's triplet figure has been identified as one of the most famous blues guitar riffs and has inspired many rock performers. The song has become a blues standard, with numerous renditions by a variety of musicians. It also has been selected for the Blues Foundation Blues Hall of Fame, the Grammy Hall of Fame, and the Library of Congress' National Recording Registry.

French Mixed Media Abstract on Canvas.
Located in Cotignac, FR
Colourful, French mixed media abstract, acrylic, newsprint and ink from the 1980s. The canvas is signed and dated bottom right but we have not yet managed to decipher it.
A colourful and engaging painting crossing over styles. The colourfield elements are reminiscent of the work of Mark Rothko, three defined bands of colour in orange/pink tones vertically dissecting the painting with one horizontal band across the top, and yet the elongated depiction of the female figures within the bands remind us of Gustav Klimt and his paintings of Adele.
The background of the painting has been worked broadly with a palette knife whilst the detail has been added quickly and deftly with ink or finer brushstrokes. With the addition of newsprint (in French) the artist may...
