Robert Jessup (American/Texas, b. 1952)
Est: $800 - $1,200
Robert Jessup (American/Texas, b. 1952) , "Night Inspection", 1985, oil on canvas, signed lower right, signed, titled and dated en verso, 24 in. x 24 in., framed. Note: Robert Jessups early works are characterized by his focus on enigmatic, often lone figures suspended in the instant immediately preceding a serious, life-changing moment. Night Inspection offered here is an excellent example of his works from this era. A man is sandwiched between the gears and cogs of a mysterious machine, and the powerful physicality of the claustrophobia depicted can be interpreted both literally and metaphorically, while the arresting gaze of the trapped figure holds the viewer hostage. Neal Auction Company would like to thank the artist for his assistance with this note.
