Early Painted Collage Series

by Gerald King

When I took the painting outside to photograph it, it seemed incomplete. I decided that it must be displayed with the palette table. This cabinet had  been in front of the painting all  during the time I worked on it. The solution to the composition was to fabricate a trompe l'oeil palette table complete with paint tubes, brushes, and paint rags, and include it in front of the painting.

This was the first art work where I would combine ceramic sculpture with  painting. The subjects of these works were usually popular items found in my studio or reproductions from magazines. The sculptures were of tools or equipment used in the production of the art. Other works of this nature art #167 "Diptych with Pickle" and  #168 "Projection"

Free Standing Painting displayed in Concourse Gallery, Wisconsin Center, University of Wis., Madison, Wis. 1970. Thesis show for  MFA

Poor photograph. At the time of the exhibit I could not afford a professional photographer.
