Name the artist

Aw'right you young Turks, so ya' think yer' all erudite n' stuff, let's have some fun, here's a little challenge...identify the artist/constructionist of this modern work. Besides the obvious contained within the piece, here's a huge hint, the artist was aware of the eroticism of machinery. Good luck. No prizes, just the opportunity to E-strut your stuff.

Cheers.:wink:

Here's another hint; the artist is female.

Is there a pic attached or can I just not see it?

Is it there now? These high-falutin', new-fangled, computer 'thingys' out-think themselves at times.:wink:

adrean8j · 08-26-2008, 06:43 AM

Yes I can see it now...
As for the artist I would have to do research (art history is not one of my strong points). It is an interesting take on the sexiness of the beemers (with double "E") and the importance of time/timing....Damnit Surname....now I gotta surf the net...LOL

Would it be Hannah Hoch?

Congrats, whiplash.

The piece is titled Pretty Maiden, done in 1920.

Art historian Robert Hughes wrote," She had a fines sense of placement, and however dislocated the contrasts in a given piece might be - between ground view and aerial perspective, close-up and distant shot, organic and surface. From it rose a world at once estranged, bleakly funny, and poisoned at the root."

In other words, she created some seriously whacked-out pieces! Like this one...

(She must have had access to some really high quality drugs)
