Arnold Zimmerman (1954 USA)
Arnold Zimmerman (1954 USA) Untitled No. 1 (Portugal Series)1988Ash Glazed Stoneware; ht. 45 wd. 17 dp. 16 in.Zimmerman studied with Ken Ferguson at the Kansas City Art Institute and received his MFA from Alfred University.? Judy Collischan writes of Zimmerman that his work is:"Reminiscent of Hieronymus Bosch or at times Pieter Bruegel this work exhibits Zimmerman's fascination with exaggeration and the bizarre. This impulse is in line with the grotesque a decorative form of art that intertwines elements from human animal and foliage sources. The resultant creatures ... are interconnected ... as though caught in a common web of their own growth and existence ... the incredible creatures seem ugly yet harmless. There is a blend of humor with deformity as these characters seem to clamor and chatter among themselves. Zimmerman combines anthropomorphic form with a moralizing content that relates a lesson about pretense and folly. He epitomizes this ethical passage via a three-dimensional satire."Zimmerman's penchant for exaggeration continues into scale enjoying the technical and aesthetic challenge of working large. He lives in New York and maintains a studio in Brooklyn. Daniel Jacobs and Derek Mason Collection; Acquired directly from the Artist.
