Traylor often painted on discarded cardboard window advertisements or box tops. This large display card once advertised the Philco Mystery Control, a wireless remote invented for radios in 1939. Here, similar imagery and story lines seen in Untitled (Yellow and Blue House with Figures and Dogs) coalesce into a single tightly organized scene. The characters may be the same, but Traylor distilled them into loosely painted, stylized figures that deliver an explosive energy; details give way to fluid abstraction. |
