Peregrine Honig (American, b. 1976). Group of two works from the "Animal Cracker" series, 2011. Walnut ink & gouache on Arches paper. Both pen signed and date stamped along the lower right. One titled "Grower," number 31 from the series of 50. One titled "Whore," number 26 from the series of 50. Each with a certificate of authenticity from Artist of the Month Club.
Honig remarked on this series in an interview with Artist of the Month Club saying:
"My giraffes, squirrels, mice, walruses, cats, and roosters stand in for a bevy of D list celebrities, reality television stars, socialites, and arm candy. I sat down with a bottle of walnut ink, my small collection of Steiff toys and my larger collection of the books for people who seriously collect them and went to town. I tore each page of Arches off the block with my bone scorer and had a great time naming each character and delicately coloring them.
My grandfather is a Holocaust survivor- I just went to visit him last month. My father encouraged me to learn about my grandfather’s life through literature and I took an extensive class from Milton Katz about the Holocaust that included Maus. I appreciate Art Spiegelman. His work is wonderful.
Animal Crackers is about consumer characters and voyeurism. The animals are funny because we don’t want to be viewed the way we are viewing them. I love Beatrix Potter and Edward Gorey. What would happen if these dainty characters got caught in the tabloids?"
Unframed, each; height: 10 in x width: 7 in. Framed, each; height: 12 3/4 in x width: 9 3/4 in x depth: 1 3/4 in.
The colors are bold and bright. There are no visible tears, creases, losses, or restorations when viewed under UV light. Floated in frame. Framed under plexiglass; light wear to the frame including some accretions along the surface of the plexiglass. Not inspected out of frame.
