Windows

Résumé du livre

Internationally acclaimed artist, Marilyn Henrion, presents a new series of mixed media works, entitled Windows. A critical essay by art critic, Ed McCormack, introduces this richly illustrated catalog of over 40 works created in 2013. Marilyn Henrion's focus on windows in their various permutations has metaphorical implications that are not lost on this artist. From Renaissance paintings to cinema and cyberspace, the window has always been perceived as a mediator between spaces. Windows are the visual bridge between inside and out. Though transparent, the window may serve as the barrier or the link between the viewer and the world beyond. To those outside, it may reflect the world, or provide one with a glimpse of the inside. To those inside, it may shield them from the reality outside or offer a connection to it. The intimate life stories behind windows are limitless, as are the events seen through the windows as they unfold throughout time. Much as Edward Hopper had done in the last century, Henrion synthesizes and transforms the "facts" of the material world to reflect her own experience of a particular place.
