In these works Lye drained the portrait of much of its resemblance, but added other traces of the sitter and new layers of meaning. Fascinated by the notion of individuality and the physical factors that inform each person’s makeup, many of Lye’s works can be considered meditations on identity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAll sales from this merchandise help support art and exhibition making at New Zealand’s contemporary art museum.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProduct Details:\u003cbr\u003eDimensions\u003cbr\u003eUnlined\u003cbr\u003eH: 180mm x W: 130mm x D: 20mm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eArtwork Caption:\u003cbr\u003eLen Lye,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eNew Born Babe\u003c\/em\u003e, 1947, Photogram,\u003cbr\u003egelatin silver photograph (photogram), \u003cbr\u003eCourtesy of the Len Lye Foundation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"Govett-Brewster Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44865812070693,"sku":"l4128","price":26.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0727\/6832\/3877\/files\/BabyJournal1.jpg?v=1687387566"},{"product_id":"dont-fight-the-feeling-t-shirt","title":"Don't Fight The Feeling T-shirt","description":"\u003cp\u003eCapturing the spirit of Len Lye in a moment of vintage 1970s style, this replica T-shirt strikes close to the heart of the artist’s philosophy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDedicated to making art that celebrates motion, Lye was a champion of living in the moment, constantly moving forward and sideways, and certainly not fighting the feeling.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis replica t-shirt is inspired by an original shirt worn by Lye, photographed during a moment in his studio in 1974.
