Ronnie Cutrone"Putting on Your Face (Gold)"
Ronnie Cutrone has been a Pop artist best known for his large-scale paintings of America's favorite cartoon characters. The Pink Panther, Felix the Cat, Bugs Bunny, and Woody Woodpecker. On the surface, Cutrone's paintings are colorful, lively, and highly accessible - the essence of pop. Many of them seem to be offered with the kind of wide-eyed non-judgmental attitude one might expect from Cutrone, who was Andy Warhol's assistant at the "art factory" during Warhol's most productive and prestigious years.
