David Gilhooly 'Jonathan Frisbee Woodstock' Monotype Signed Print

1988

About the Item

David Gilhooly (1943-2013) Jonathan Frisbee Woodstock, 1988 Monotype print with canine shaped lino plate on BFK Rives Paper Signed and dated in pencil, lower right Hand titled in pencil, verso Published by Magnolia Editions (Magnolia Press), Unframed: 29 1/2 in H x 22 in L Housed in a mat A similar print with the same title is part of the Cantor Art Center at Stanford University Accession Number: 1997.93.46. The lino plate is a form of fine art printmaking where the printing plate is cut into linoleum, in this case dog shaped. The lino is then inked, a piece of paper placed over it, and then run through a printing press or pressure applied by hand to transfer the ink to the paper. Being a monotype, this is an original print. David Gilhooly states that his lowbrow humor makes his work accessible so that “even my most maiden old aunt or my most drugged-out cousin can get at the meaning of the work or at least experience it!” He studied at the University of California, where he worked as an assistant to Robert Arneson. Gilhooly was a leading advocate of funk art, which challenged the seriousness of the art world by focusing on absurd images of everyday objects. He parodied ancient civilizations, religion, politics, and culture through an alternative world of ceramic frogs and other creatures until 1983, when he began to use food to satirize man-made and natural disasters.
