Billy al bengston biography of abraham lincoln

After seeing the work of Jasper Johns at the Venice Biennale he adopted the motif of a set of sergeant's stripes.

Known for his eccentric personality, flock of famous artists he calls friends, and wildly experimental geometric paintings, Billy Al Bengston is.

This recurring image was painted with industrial materials and techniques associated with the decoration of motorcycle tanks and surfboards. Bengston encouraged viewers in the early s to associate his art with motorcycle subculture, for instance by straddling a bike on the cover of the catalogue for a show at Ferus Gallery. His interest in cars lead to Judy Chicago, one of his students, attending auto body school and using spray painting techniques.

Thomas E. Crow draws attention to the deliberate contrast between Bengston's flamboyant, competitive, aggressively masculine stance and a delicate, modest approach to his art.
