Lot description

Michael Jung American, 1936-2022 Three Elephants Acrylic and oil paint on canvas This image of the elephants has a painted frame surrounding these friendly pachyderms, each painted with different emphasis and painting techniques. It is stretched but not framed. A long time Denison Art professor and prolific artist, Michael Jung's art work is currently being collected by former students, Denison faculty, staff and art lovers. Like many artists of his generation, Michael was inspired by the many artistic movements of the 20th century. Surrealism exerted a particularly profound influence on his development as an artist, providing him with the visual language to explore beneath the surface of what he saw. Michael's sensitivity to the unseen world can be disorienting or even challenging. A familiar response to anyone who asked him about the meaning of his work was the evasive but provocative, "What does it mean to you?" He left no roadmap and no instructions, only the work itself. Take his challenge as an invitation to see with your own eyes and emotions.
