Untitled1965–198614 1/2 x 18 3/4 " (36.8 x 47.6 cm)Paint on metalGift of Audrey B. Heckler2022.6.520provided by donor: Enamel and matte paint on metal
Flattened, cut, and painted sheet of metal depicting an abstracted animal mid-stride. The metal is likely galvanized steel (steel coated with zinc). The type of animal is unidentifiable based on its physical features, which includes two ears or antlers, an elongated mouth or muzzle, and a long tail. The animal's eyes are fashioned out of circular cut sheet metal with two holes. A metal wire is inserted in these holes to adhere the eyes to the animal's head. The artist used a matte finish paint for the entire work.1574638380David ButlerSculptureCopyright for this work is under review. upper center: 'D B'PattersonPattersonUnited StatesLouisianaThree Dimensional WorksAmerican Folk Art MuseumPattersonreviewed for the IMLS Neurodiversity Project by Art Bridges Fellow Austin Losada 2026.
