Identifier An unambiguous reference to the resource within a given context 1976.40 Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Bengston, Billy Al American, b. 1934 Description An account of the resource Alamo 1969 Print, laquer and polyester resin on aluminum 36 x 34 in. An avid motorcycle rider, Billy Al Bengston adapted the spray-gun technique used in customizing cycles to his own art work in the 1960s. Working on the unyielding surfaces of Masonite or metal, Bengston employed spray guns and airbrushes to achieve a sleek surface which he then marked with a recognizable yet out-of-context symbols, such as a cross, heart, iris, or, as in this work, sergeant stripes. While familiar, these centrally placed emblems resist a narrative interpretation and instead heighten awareness of the painted surface. Similarly, the dented metal both disrupts the composition and becomes art of it.
