Louis Hirshman
Louis P. Hirshman (1905-1986) was an American artist known for his witty and imaginative use of ''found objects'' for caricatures of celebrities and politicians and, in later years, for scenes of everyday life.
Unlike sketched or painted two-dimensional caricatures, these collages, known as ''constructions'', are reliefs on glass-covered, framed flat boards created using common items and discarded junk, a genre which ''(Bostonia )'' magazine once dubbed the "Out-of-the-Ashcan School".〔Bostonia magazine, December 1998, p. 33, "From the Studio"〕 His creations exaggerated the icons of his day, ranging from Adolf Hitler to Groucho Marx and President John F. Kennedy to Cuba’s Fidel Castro, revealing their essence with gloves, spools of thread, peanut shells, and chains.
==Museum acquires ''Einstein''==
Hirshman’s most famous artwork was arguably his 1940 representation of ''Albert Einstein'', with the genius mathematician sporting a wild mop of hair, an abacus chest and shirt collar scribbled with the equation 2+2 = 2+2. In 1977, the piece was purchased by the ''Philadelphia Museum of Art'', where it hangs on a wall in the acquisition’s office and out of public view.
Although his pieces often engendered laughter as viewers recognized the parts of familiar items that informed the subject as a whole, Hirshman –- as well as colleagues—considered these representations serious works of art. In his last period, he shifted into caricaturizing scenes of everyday life and archetypes, all with his clever mix of found objects.
