About this work

This image is a row of cut-out figures and objects glued onto paper. On the left, two people stand near a sign that says "F.K.U." and "X.O'S." Next is a bright yellow lightbulb with a face, then a person wearing a yin-yang symbol as a hat. In the middle sits a man with green hair and a red smile. To the right, a colorful fox holds a purse, a woman in red stands near a barrel labeled "LIFE SAVERS," and a building with a blue spiral sits at the end. The text at the bottom mentions a man named George Maciunas, who designed cheap housing for artists. It also says the artist went bankrupt, but the group succeeded. Look up Emmett Williams to see more of his playful collages.
