“In The Pavilion of The Red Clown” is a figurative artwork by Robert Williams, associated with the Lowbrow Art movement. The artwork depicts a surreal and chaotic scene characterized by vibrant colors and meticulously detailed imagery.
The artwork features a central figure of a clown dressed in an exaggerated red costume with a matching conical hat, intensifying the visual impact. This clown holds a birdcage containing a small, golden snake and an empty liquor bottle, adding an element of unexpected juxtaposition to the scene. To his right, a scantily clad woman adorned with a blue headdress and yellow star-studded attire stands with a look of shock or surprise, further heightening the sense of dramatic tension. The background is cluttered with various objects, including chairs, bottles, and a disheveled puppet-like figure on the right side, contributing to the overall sense of disorder and surrealism. The meticulous attention to detail and the vibrant palette demonstrate Williams’ hallmark style, characteristic of the Lowbrow Art movement.
