Artist’s Encounter with Duchamp Study Inspires New Works
JONATHAN TALBOT: VARIATIONS ON A THEME BY MARCEL DUCHAMP
and other works –
June 6-28, 2008 – Solo Exhibition at the Flow of Art Gallery in
Norwalk, Connecticut
Norwalk,
Conn., May 28, 2008— In the 1930’s, the artist Marcel Duchamp
gave his friend, art critic Henry McBride, a study for “The Bride
Stripped Bare by Her Bachelors, Even“— a Duchamp masterpiece
also known as “The Large Glass.” This study, made of
copper, wire and other materials, has remained in the collection of The
Henry McBride Foundation and has never been publicly exhibited.
In
2007, while discussing his solo exhibit in 2008 at The Flow of Art Gallery,
internationally known painter and collage artist Jonathan Talbot was shown
the Duchamp study by gallery co-owner Michael Spizzirri, who is also a
Director of the Foundation.
“My
encounter with the McBride Foundation’s Marcel Duchamp study for
“La mariée mis à nu par ses célibataires, même”
(“The Large Glass”) has inspired a number of works in my upcoming
exhibition at the Flow of Art Gallery,” said Talbot in a recent
interview. “These works explore the possibilities of using
new visual language to discuss preexisting art and, at the same time,
celebrate the tradition of using preexisting visual language to make new
artistic statements.”
The
Duchamp study, along with the works it has inspired, will be included
in JONATHAN TALBOT: VARIATIONS ON A THEME BY MARCEL DUCHAMP and other
works which opens on June 6th and will continue through June 28th.
The
works of artist Jonathan Talbot have been exhibited at The National Academy
and the Museum of Modern Art in New York, have represented the U.S. overseas
in exhibitions sponsored by the State Department and the Smithsonian Institution,
and are included in museum collections in U.S. and Europe. His works
are currently also on display in “Art Collage,” an exhibit
in Brussels, Belgium.Talbot's works include oils, watercolors, etchings,
collages, and multi-dimensional collage-constructions. Among the public
collections holding Talbot works are The Newark Museum, The Smith College
Museum, The Everhart Museum, The Byer Museum, The Free Library of Philadelphia,
The San Francisco Academy of Art, Fairleigh Dickinson University, The
Provincetown Historical Society, and the Toronto Central Library.
Talbot
maintains his studio in Warwick, NY where he lives with his wife Marsha.
The
opening reception for this exhibit will be on Friday, June 6th from 6
to 9 pm. The Flow of Art Gallery, 16 River Street in Norwalk, is open
Wed. & Thurs. 10 am – 5pm, Friday 10am – 8pm, Saturday
