About the Item

Signed by J.E. Gourgue, noted Haitian painter, this large scale artwork is destined for a major collection, a culinary enthusiast or even a restaurant. Pig Head Salad is one of Haiti's most famous delicacies. And, every part of the cow is used as well. Just look at the detail in the costume! And, the size! She is almost a life size portrait! This is Gourgue's social realism at it's most compelling. She seems headed to celebrate a traditional event, with a scant 50c remaining. Meanwhile, she is also at the intersection of the modern with a gorgeous blue pants and shirt rather than traditional dress or costume. Quite compelling as a work of art and also as a subject.

Edwin Scheier 1964 Modernist Sculpture of Man Riding Jaguar Which Has Eaten Man
By Edwin and Mary Scheier
Located in Mobile, AL
An early and fully three dimensional sculpture by Edwin Scheier exhibiting a symbolic or mythological representation that represents the circle of life. The bent wood, carving, piercing and rope work are all manifest at a high level in this quixotic almost whimsical work of 1964. Edwin (and Mary) spent over a decade in the 1960's and 70's in Oaxaca, Mexico where he often worked with Guanacaste wood and local fibers, to great success. A perfect compliment to a mid century modern interior and a must have go along with any major mid century and/or Scheier ceramics...
