Michael David (American, b. 1954)
Scarecrow, 1987
Oil, wax, and acrylic on canvas
Gift of Berkus Family Collection
Born in Reno, Nevada, David grew up in Brooklyn, New York, receiving his MFA from Parson’s School of Design. An abstract painter, his signature style incorporates encaustic – a technique in which he mixes pigments with heated beeswax. The geometric shapes of his work are created from multiple small canvases fastened together on the reverse side.
