Robert Arneson is considered the founder of the Funk Art Movement, a strand of Californian Pop Art focusing on absurd images of everyday objects. He worked as a cartoonist for a local newspaper in California. He then was appointed professor of ceramics at UC Davis. The piece I chose is is Robert Arneson as a Clever Old Dog. The piece is definitely very different than the pieces we have studied already. It kind of creeps me out. I like the colorful extra pieces around the "dog." You won't find me sculpting my face and put on a dog's body!
