 © Myron Heise, 2003 Past Performances, 1976 Oil on Canvas - 28" X 30" $2,400 |
Memory is a Potent Muse In a complex still life entitled Past Performances, statues, clippings, eyeglasses and other small possessions collectively constitute a memorial portrait of the sculptor Charles O'Keefe. The tableau stands in direct opposition to the vanitas tradition. In lieu of suggesting that all things pass, the props Heise painted remind us that art lasts. Far from preaching momento mori, Heise's work invites us to remember life, and to cherish it.
-- Gerard Haggerty
