Christmas Toy

Here is a mounted toy given to me one Christmas by artist David McManaway. It was accompanied by my traditional Christmas present from him, a David McManaway autograph. This particular Christmas it was presented on the cover of a book opened to a small painting he did of himself as a child playing with the toy. One of the great joys of living on Tremont Street was experiencing David McManaway immersing himself in the art of life every day. He had the best eye I knew for finding objects, composing found objects into JOMO boards and an eye for seeing the irony and fun in life missed by most. Roger Winter is curating a show of his and David McManaway’s friends at the Kirk Hopper Gallery opening on January 19, 2019.
