RALPH FASANELLA (1914-1997)
Baseball, Holy Cow
1996
Oil on Canvas
26 x 30, inches
Signed & dated lower right
RALPH FASANELLA (1914-1997) celebrated the common man and tackled complex issues of postwar America in colorful, socially minded paintings. Fasanella developed an astute and accessible style that reflected his affiliation with, and commitment to, the struggles waged by the working class for a dignified life.
In addition to the working class, Mr. Fasanella’s other great theme
was baseball. He loved the game, with some of that excitement
coming across in “Baseball, Holy Cow”, (1996) a marvelous, cheerful
work showing the pitcher in motion & batter ready with the crowd waiting in anticipation in the background.

TIN MAN
American
c. 1930
Tinned sheet iron, original patina
H 74 x W 23 1⁄2 x D 10 inches
In subject, pose, and life-sized scale this figure is akin to the tin man made circa 1930 by David Goldsmith (1901-1980) displayed in the front window of his West End Sheet Metal and Roofing Works in Long Island City, New York. Goldsmith’s tin man has achieved an iconic stature through illustration in exhibition catalogs and books.
Within the universe of folk-art tin men, ours and the one made by David Goldsmith stand out as unique for their representational form of a 1920s dandy and mastery of the techniques of construction.
Unlike ours, typical folk art tin men were fashioned from found parts. In design they range from assemblages in the style of the tin man from “The Wizard of Oz” to modernistic robot-like abstractions. Examples of the latter can be seen in the noted Hemphill collection at the Smithsonian and Hall collection at The Milwaukee Art Museum

HUNTER MULDOON: Windows from abandon neighborhood houses are the new foundation for the layered wall constructions of Hunter Muldoon. Reverse painting on glass is one of the techniques Hunter deploys in alerting the viewer to the density of history contained within. These compositions evoke a wide range of decidedly urban transformations at once, physical in form and mystical in surface.
Hunter was born and raised in the historic Corktown neighborhood in Detroit Michigan. Having grown up in a time when Detroit felt very much so forgotten, he connects his work to that past,
breathing new life into objects found scattered throughout the city. Working primarily on found windows from old/abandoned homes in the area, Hunter applies a variety of techniques from reverse glass painting to mixed media construction and assemblage to create his complex images.
