George Segal
George segal was an American painter and sculptor associated with Pop Art movement. He used orthopedic bandages dipped in plaster and constructed some of the most haunting/ memorable figurative art of the 20th century. His work were life sized models based on his body and those of friends, family, neighbors and holocaust victims. Like actors in a play these figures inhabit three dimensional environments that evoke everyday spaces. Segal's figures had minimal color and detail, which gave them a ghostly appearance. In larger works one or more figures were placed in anonymous places, usually in urban environments sushi as street corner, bus or a diner.
