"I" by Jayson Musson

$350

Artist Jayson Musson burst into the art world’s consciousness in a disguise. He was "Hennessy Youngman," a YouTuber art critic bringing an outsider black angle to commentary on high art phenomena like the conceptual artist Bruce Nauman, the genre of performance art, and the delicate dance known as the studio visit. His moniker combined references to comedian Henny Youngman, "the king of the one-liners," and Hennessy cognac. Art in America magazine called him "Ali G with an MFA." He would later bring his singular, sardonic sensibility to painting by creating artworks made from Coogi sweaters, the multicolored garment associated with the rapper Notorious B.I.G. and the comedian Bill Cosby in his role as Dr. Huxtable on "The Cosby Show"; and create his own brand of television with a series about Jamel, a time-traveling character in Adidas tracksuit and a do-rag.
