Marisol (Maria Sol Escobar) American, born France 1930, d. 2016 JAZZ WALL About 1962 Wood, found objects, paper, and paint One of the few female Pop artists, Marisol is known for juxtaposing flat surfaces with dimensional forms, painted and collaged elements with sculpted ones, and scavenged materials with handmade objects. As she stated in 1963, “I like to make combinations that seem incongruous – wood with plaster, pencil drawing on wood – but finally I put things where they belong; a hand at the end of an arm, a nose in the middle of the face ……a mouth a little below the nose.” A more thematic or metaphorical incongruity animates the monumental Jazz Wall, too: the work is literally silent and still, while summoning the expansiveness of collaborative sound.
