Art Sculpture Shirt - sculptor Ludwig Cohen

Fine Art : Sculptures : Ludwig Cohen

 

'With fingers weary and worn, With eyelids heavy and red, A woman sat in unwomanly rags, Plying her needle and thread Stitch! stitch! stitch! In poverty, hunger, and dirt, And still with a voice of dolorous pitch, Would that its tone could reach the Rich! She sang this "Song of the Shirt!" '

A poem can stir all of the senses, and the sentiments in the words of Song of the Shirt by Thomas Hood possibly inspired this modern day artist to sculpt this vee neck shirt (or sweater) which will evoke comments and curiosity from all who see it.

Ludwig (Louis) Cohen is no stranger to the art world. He has been painting, sculpting and carving for over fifty years in various genres and has adapted his works to meet the every changing styles of the artistic community. His works are presently carried by galleries in Toronto, Canada, New York, Los Angeles and Europe.

The white painted shirt is made of heavy gauged sheet metal and measures 32 in height, from the top of its hanger to the bottom of its iron feet and 30" in width.
