G.E. Keneley

G.E. Keneley is an artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

G.E. Keneley turned puppet shows into prints, sketching the wooden faces of Mr. Punch and his crew at fairs where polka dots blurred under gaslight. He caught the moment when a puppet’s painted grin slipped into something more human, tired from years of cracking jokes. His hands were as quick as the puppeteers’, turning every jig into a snapshot you could hang on your wall; try the 1920s print *George Speaight Punch & Judy Collection* and watch a grinning rascal wink like he just stole your watch.
