A beautiful example of the pop art work of Red Grooms (American, 1937 - ). This silkscreen is entitled, "Mango Mango" and was printed in 1973 within an edition of 250.

Red Grooms was born in Nashville, Tennessee in 1937. He studied at the Art Institute of Chicago and the New School for Social Research, New York. During the 1950s, Grooms moved to New York City to immerse himself in the art scene. For nearly fifty years, Grooms has combined color, vibrancy, and a generous dose of self-deprecating humor to produce art in all media that provokes and delights. He pokes fun at the icons of American politics, entertainment and the world of art, while paying homage to his subjects at the same time. No artist since Honoré Daumier has had a greater understanding of humor or a more direct connection to his audience than Grooms. In return, Grooms has earned the public's unqualified admiration and appreciation.
