Subway, 1971 by Red Grooms (lithograph)

So far, I have four students repoused, with another on the way this morning. I have narrowed my focus to the Nine who were post tested, plus myself. 

I am loosely basing my work on the installation Ruckus Manhattan by Red Grooms. I have pinpointed the use of facial expressions, gestures, motion and flat color to use in my final piece. I love Groom's caricatures, as well as his belief that art should be for everyone. His installations in the 70s were on the streets of New York, so anyone could experience the work at no cost.
