iamb (The Limbo of Vanity): Chapter 12

R. H. Quaytman · 2008

This one's called iamb (The Limbo of Vanity): Chapter 12 — a painting by R. H. Quaytman, two thousand eight. Silkscreen: ink pushed through a stencilled mesh, one screen per colour, which is why the colour lies so flat. In the picture, look for the architectural plan and the war.

Medium Oil, silkscreen ink, and gesso on wood · Dimensions 32 3/8 x 52 3/8" (82.2 x 133 cm) · Credit The Pat Hearn and Colin de Land Acquisition Fund and Fund for the Twenty-First Century
