- Abstract
- Created in 1972, Hughie Lee-Smith’s painting "The Jester" still resonates as a work that can vividly speak to life in America – a country wrestling with social, economic, and psychological threats previously unfathomed. Lee-Smith’s dunce, however, is no fool. Poised and holding red, white, and blue balls that seem to epitomize the state of the United States, his direct look seems to be a challenge.
