Entitled "Threefold" (2004).
This is an ideal gift for the modern art collector, and one could easily imagine it in MOMA next to Robert Rauschenberg, Jackson Pollack and Jasper Johns.
Painting in the tradition of Kline and de Kooning, Hirschman infuses a modern hip-hop ‘graffiti-esque’ into the abstract expressionist style of his own unique renditions, expressing at the same time some of the influences from the artistic circle of his own life in Los Angeles and the San Francisco Bay Area. Wallace Berman, George Herms, Dean Stockwell, Russ Tamblyn, David Meltzer, Bob Kaufman, Dennis Hopper, have been key figures in Hirschman’s inner circle of inspirations.
The painting seen in the two photographs below is approximately 6 feet by 6 feet, acrylic, tempera, chalk & ink on unstretched canvas. It is signed “J.A.H. ‘04” in black in the bottom right corner.
