George Simmons
Monotint -- Black Hood with Tail

C. 2008

About the Item

This is an ink and carbon monotype, entitled "Black Hood with Tail." The hooded figure shown appears to have very large eyes, but his face is hidden from everyone, perhaps even from himself. The black hooded figure in the forefront is striking. Given that the artist is African American, this work may be interpreted as a comment redolent of irony. This work is framed and signed by the artist on the back. George Simmons is an Upstate New York artist who focuses on printmaking, painting and fine art photography. A graduate of the University of Wisconsin with an MFA in studio art, Simmons exhibits regionally and has been the recipient of photography awards.
