#WIPSnips #Writesky #Writingcommunity #contemporary A snippet from my novel, How to Build a Champion. (Some descriptive details in this scene, taking place in an art gallery, were inspired by the soft-sculpture work of artist, #ClaesOldenburg, with particular reference to Claes' 1960s drawings.)

"The thing about the ray gun is, you pick up anything you see on the street that's the shape of a gun."

You go to the movies as a kid, everybody's got a gun."

C'est la journée nationale du pop art aujourd'hui afin de rendre hommage à ce grand mouvement artistique né dans les années 50 s'inspirant de la publicité, des bandes dessinées et des objets de la vie quotidienne. #PopArt #AndyWarhol #ClaesOldenburg #DLVisionMode

#ClaesOldenburg
Claes Oldenburg's Piccadilly Circus (1966) raised an everyday cosmetic item to a monumental scale, embodying the expendable, sexy imagery of Pop Art. To replace the statue of Eros with lipsticks from an advertisement was to update one vision of sexuality with another.

Tre anni senza #ClaesOldenburg, ultimo grande rappresentante della Pop-Art statunitense, ironico e graffiante osservatore del dilagare della società dei consumi, i cui simboli trash ha contestato e destrutturato ingrandendoli a improbabili scale iperboliche.

We end our week of Oldenburg with this blast from the past. Does anyone remember what this is? I never used one like this, but my siblings did because they were teenagers when I was born.

I love the humor in this soft sculpture, a collaborative with Coosje. They lived and worked in New York City. He passed in 2022 in his Manhattan home from complications of a fall.

CLAES OLDENBURG. This one just slices me. The scale of this is amazing. A massive job to make and display.

CLAES OLDENBURG. I think of all the pieces I am showcasing this week, this is my favorite soft sculpture. Not an easy instrument to play, or design, I am sure.

How ingenious is this idea? He used metal, stone, glass, clay, and probably lots of other materials I cannot name. He was called on for major commissions around the world and was awarded many honors and recognition throughout his life.

CLAES OLDENBURG. How would you like to show up for work everyday to see this? You'd only hope it would be a fun place to work with a Baskin Robbins inside for employees!

#CLAESOLDENBURG. This was a collaboration with his wife, Coosje van Bruggen. The two were married in 1977, but had met years earlier in Sweden. Coosje was a Dutch/American writer and art historian. They married in 1977 and collaborated for 30 years before her death in 2009.
