Author Description

Four essays outline the lengthy career of the multidisciplinary artist. Favros early rejection of the dominant model of contemporary sculpture has led him to produce an art filled with humor, innovation and the materials of the world around him. His model planes, telephones and especially his guitars, while recognizable and fully functional, are imbued with conjecture and invention. 65 color illustrations. An earlier work, Murray Favro: The Guitars by James D. Campbell was published in 1992.
