Bruce Conner

November 18th 1933.

American Artist renowned for his work in assemblage, film, drawing, sculpture,painting,collage and photography, among many other disciplines.

Assemblage: an artistic process in which a three dimensional artistic composition is made from putting together found objects.

Connor first attracted attention with his nylon-shrouded- assemblage: complex amalgams of found objects such as women's stockings, bicycle wheels, broken dolls etc, often combined with collage or paint. His work had a surrealist edge to it.
Generally, his works do not have precise meanings, but some of them suggest the discarded beauty of modern America, the deforming impact of society on the individual, violence against women, and consumerism. Social commentary and dissension remained a common theme among his later works.
