BERNARD LANGLAIS (American, 1923-1977) WISHY WASHY II.

Stained wood shadowbox sculpture Unsigned Bears Allan Stone Gallery label on verso Bernard Langlais was born in Old Town, Maine. While many of his audience may think first of his folk-like wooden figures of animals, Langlais’s early work was very abstract and urbane. As a member of Leo Castelli’s stable of avant garde artists, he exhibited in New York with artist/colleagues including Jasper Johns, Robert Rauschenberg and Louise Nevelson; Castelli in fact gave him a one person show in 1961. Langlais’s training included study at the Corcoran School of Art in Washington, the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture and the Brooklyn Museum School, where he studied with German Expressionist painter Max Beckmann. He also studied in Paris at the Academie de la Grand Chaumiere in the early 1950’s and received a Fulbright Fellowship to study the work of Edvard Munch in Norway.
