To make his Guitar Man, Mr. Imagination used the same technique of layering and connecting bottle caps as the artist of this 1930s basket. Mr. Imagination resurrected discarded materials, transforming them into playful forms such as this half instrument, half human. Whereas the maker of the basket is Unidentified, Mr. Imagination was a widely celebrated self-taught artist who had a significant following here in Atlanta, where he spent the last years of his life.
