Marisol Escobar (May 22, 1930 – April 30, 2016), most commonly known simply as Marisol, was a Venezuelan-American sculptor born in Paris. She gained prominence in the New York art scene of the 1960s, known for her distinctive pop art sculptures.
Marisol's work often incorporated elements of folk art, pre-Columbian art, and Dada. She frequently used wood, terracotta, paint, and other found objects to create her figurative sculptures. These pieces often featured portraits of famous figures, as well as depictions of family groups and social commentary.
Her style is characterized by its angularity, humor, and sometimes biting satire. She explored themes of identity, social roles, and the complexities of modern life. While associated with the Pop Art movement, Marisol's work maintained a unique individuality, often standing apart from the more commercial aspects of the genre. She exhibited extensively throughout her career, and her works are held in major museum collections worldwide.
