Max Neufeldt “Blue Bird Heart” Assemblage Collage, 1985
An original mixed-media relief by California artist Max Neufeldt, this 1985 “Blue Bird Heart” piece marries a hand-crafted bird figure on a perch with assorted found objects—all mounted to a stained wooden heart. Neufeldt’s signature blend of industrial remnants and warm materials evokes a poetic nostalgia, each element thoughtfully arranged to riff on themes of memory and craft. Signed “Neufeldt Santa Barbara” on the back.
