Best known for his sculptures of crushed automobile parts, John Chamberlain has had an ongoing interest in everyday objects, but he focused almost exclusively on cars from 1959 to 1963. Instead of creating something new, he was demolishing something already in existence. For several years he did paintings, using automobile lacquer, but then returned to his earlier method of producing crushed forms, but added materials such as foam rubber, Plexiglas, and paper.
Chamberlain was born in Roch (showing 500 of 961 characters). |
