Mail art no. 8
Subject
Mail art
Description
Two-sided piece made of board with multi-color paper overlay. U.S. postage stamp affixed to back.
These three images show different views of a mail art object titled *Buckskin Charley*. The front features a collage of a cowboy aiming a revolver, accented with silver highlights and the title in red script. The back resembles carved wood with the recipient’s name, address, and a 20¢ Barrymore stamp, indicating it was mailed. The spine continues the wooden texture, completing the illusion of a carved wooden block. Together, the images convey a rustic, tactile aesthetic that blends printmaking, collage, and postal art.
