Item Overview

Description

Original art by noted Artist, DeLoss McGraw. 32" by 39" Frame. In 1976, McGraw discovered the work of Pulitzer Prize-winning poet W.D. Snodgrass, now poet in residence at the University of Delaware. The artist sent Snodgrass a series of mixed media paintings that incorporated the poet's text into their compositions. Snodgrass, in turn, responded with new poems inspired by these images, and thus occurred a melding of media and ideas between the aritsts. Since then, McGraw has developed a pictorial style in which recognizable forms are morphed by his imagination into objects of poetic fancy. His figuration has been greatly inspired by so-called 'outsider art,' most notably by the work of American folk artists that McGraw has collected since his childhood. It is from these that the artist's paintings have derived their rough-hewn quality. Deloss McGraw's work has been exhibited extensively throughout the United States and Europe. His pieces have received critical acclaim in over 80 solo exhibitions, and are collected by such eminent institutions as: Oxford, Syracuse, Temple and Cornell Universities, as well as by the Whitney Museum of American Art Library Collection, The Library of Congress, the San Diego Museum of Art, and the Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art.The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York recently acquired two of his paintings.His illustrated version of Alice in Wonderland won the Illustrator's Society Book of the Year Award for 2002.
