An American in Paris

An American in Paris
Original collage by Winston Smith, 1987

Winston Smith has a knack for taking familiar expressions and making them literal. In An American in Paris, he riffs on and old saying by dropping a barrel-clad American into a quiet Paris street, where amused onlookers become part of the joke. It's classic Winston—deadpan, surreal, and just absurd enough to make you stop and smile. Presented in a contemporary brushed silver frame, this early original captures the playful side of an artist who never stopped finding new ways to turn language into imagery.

Comes in an up-cycled frame and includes a certificate of authenticity.
