A meticulous miniature appropriation of Jasper Johns' 1958 painting "Tennyson," this small-scale work by Richard Pettibone replicates the source image's muted, encaustic-like surface through acrylic paint and sculpmetal, capturing its quiet, enigmatic gray tones. Pettibone incorporates collage and rubber stamp elements, further layering the work with references to reproduction and authenticity. Presented in the artist's own handcrafted frame, the piece reflects Pettibone's signature practice of reimagining canonical works of modern art as intimate, devotional objects.
