Known for their gutsy, fantastical approaches to figurative art, Jan Stussy (1921-1990) and sculptor Maxine Kim Stussy Frankel (b. 1923) were a powerhouse art couple of mid-century Los Angeles who often exhibited together. WUHO Gallery, a non-profit gallery at Woodbury School of Architecture, presents The Human Beast: Art of Maxine Kim Stussy & Jan Stussy, an exhibition that demonstrates the artists’ exploration of the melding of animalistic and human impulses in mankind. Both exquisite craftspersons, the couple revealed in their early works a mutual interest in this singular approach to the figure. Comprised of twenty sculptures, paintings, and works on paper, ranging over four decades, this exhibition focuses on Jan’s large-scale works, and sheds new light on Maxine’s under-recognized oeuvre.
This exhibition is curated by Michael Duncan, a Los Angeles-based independent curator and critic.
Opening Reception: December 10, 2016 at 6 pm
