Bruce Nauman (1941)

Oiled Dead

1975 | lithograph | 116 × 128 cm

This print by Bruce Nauman illustrates his interest in language and how words may not necessary mean what they describe.

In other words, Nauman likes to explore the nature of communication and language's inherent problems. He also plays with the idea of an artist as a communicator and manipulator of visual symbols. His work sometimes makes a visual pun.
