	Marisol; essay by Eleanor Heartney
		Although Marisol is associated with the 1960s Pop movement, her style reveals strong elements of assemblage techniques that originated in Cubist fragmentation and collage.
		Marisol was born in Paris in 1930 to Venezuelan parents.
		Marisol tells this story with a wry amusement, because of course, as it turns out in the early fifties New York was the center of a bohemian art culture whose excesses have since become legendary.

	ART OF THE 70'S: Marisol
		Born Marisol Escobar in 1930 in Paris, Marisol first studied at the École des Beaux-Arts and Académie Julian.
		Marisol was a major figure in the Pop Art movement, using pop culture images from magazines to paste onto her wooden figures; she created a John Wayne in this manner in 1963, the same year Warhol produced his first Marilyn.
		Marisol’s focus on the hand rather than the face also is a reference to her own silence about her work and her preference to let her creative actions speak for themselves.

		Born in Paris of Venezuelan parents, Marisol is a fl-haired, wide-eyed, unmarried woman of 33 who speaks in monosyllabic whispers so faint that by comparison Jackie Kennedy would sound like a cheerleader.
		Marisol, it seems, was doing a sculpture of a friend, using a barrel for the torso, when she realized that if she tipped the barrel sideways she could have the torso of a horse.
		A beam whose upper half had been partially cut away reminded Marisol of the Mona Lisa: as she examined the grain of the cutaway part, she thought she saw the famous smile.

		But the most important influence on her work was probably her own irrepressible streak of satiric whimsy, and perhaps the most engaging aspect of the figural pieces that brought her to prominence in the 1960s was their wry commentary on contemporary life.
		In this photograph taken for the Village Voice, Marisol stands surrounded by her work The Party at its maiden exhibition in 1966.
		The grouping contained more than a dozen representations of her own face, and to some extent the piece was an exploration of the artist's own identity.

		“While Marisol is aligned with the Pop Art movement, her work stands apart from the simple categorization that implies: not only is she the only woman, but she is also the only person of color consistently associated with the movement,” said Dr. Amy Gilman, TMA associate curator of modern and contemporary art.

	ArtandCulture Artist: Marisol Escobar (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Escobar uses self-portraiture in a cheeky, Pop-art-mocking manner: the piece "Tete-a-Tete" shows three images of the artist seated at a table from which rises a hand (presumably the artist's) clutching a fork.
		In "The Wedding," figures of Escobar serve as both the elegant bride and the equally resplendent groom, whose top hat is decorated with a photograph of the artist.
		One art critic observed that "her art is that of the toy-maker, whose creations are specifically designed to appeal to that part of the mind in which fantasy and reality seem identical."

	Marisol Escobar
		Marisol passed through many art movements, but it is true that it is difficult to situate her within any one movement.
		In one of her tributes to Leonardo, which took five years to complete, she re-invents a Last Supper in which she recuperates the laws of the master to transform painting to "sculpture-block" in a creative act of independence.
		During the early 70s Marisol worked on a curious series in which her own plaster-cast facebecomes an integral part of a fish body – usually as the fish’s face.

		"Born of Venezuelan parents in Paris, Marisol Escobar's early artistic training was a transcontinental experience that brought her from Europe to the Jepson School in Los Angeles and then the Art Students League in New York.
		She quickly catapulted herself onto the New York art scene in the 1960s, armed with a precocious talent and au aura of mystery and cool chic that mesmerized her earliest admirers, but which would later became a catalyst for her critics.
		Even the typically laconic Andy Warhol quipped that Marisol was 'the first girl artist with glamour.'...Morisol's sophisticated aesthetic immediately linked her to the new Pop Art movement, but her work remained in a category of its own, displaying a myriad of influences from sources as diverse as Pre-Colombian art and Surrealist imagery.
