Abstract

Description

Furred Queen #3 (along with the two other variations) was created during Manuel Izquierdo's 1966-1967 sabbatical, funded by the group of donors who organized as Art Advocates, Inc. The pillow-like forms, inspired by the pelts of fur coats, are surmounted by Manuel Izquierdo's distinctive coiffure form-a two-podded topknot that in this case is remarkably suggestive of hair because of the strands in the grain of the wood. Women wearing furs with their hair done up represent one of Izquierdo's many variations on the elegant, fashionable female. His friend George Johanson recalls that he collected and studied women's fashion magazines for visual ideas about the feminine mystique.
