Mark Mothersbaugh
V5: Little Birdees Singing Their Damn lil Hearts Out for Peace, 2016
Digital print
11 x 8.5 inches
Edition: 71/75
V5: Little Birdees Singing Their Damn lil Hearts Out for Peace merges the musical and visual aspects of Mothersbaugh’s artistic career. The print features a cartoon bird on a piece of sheet music. The artist approaches his cartoon with humor, depicting an anthropomorphized bird that stands on two human legs while singing so loud that its eye rolls back, and its heart literally appears outside of its chest. Mothersbaugh created this work alongside his exhibition Myopia, which was on view at the Contemporary Arts Center in 2015.
