Marepe in ‘Tales of Manhattan’ at Anton Kern Gallery
Brazilian artist Marepe’s socially conscious practice thrives on contrasts between city and country, rich and poor, etc.; each of these five assemblages in Anton Kern Gallery’s 25-year anniversary show is collectively titled ‘caipira’ or ‘bumpkins’ and features a prominent heart drawn in pastel. Set up like pins waiting to be bowled down, these unsuspecting folk appear to be especially vulnerable. (On view at 16 East 55th Street through Aug 20th). Marepe, Coracao, Caipira, clay pots, pastel, straw, 32 ¼ x 41 3/8 inches (5 pieces together), 2019.

Panna Maria se čtyřmi světci (Virgin Mary with Four Saints), Antonín Kern (1709 - 1747), painted 1734-1737
The narrative of the painting is suggested by a fine gesture of the elegantly dressed St. Margaret, who is leading a dragon - the devil on a chain. According to a legend the latter first devoured her, but in the end she came out of his entrails alive. The main figures of the composition are the Madonna and Child, accompanied by two patron saints of Bohemia. The one wearing an ermine mantle and the princely cap is St. Wenceslas, whereas St. John of Nepomuk is presenting the symbol of his silence for which he was tortured and killed - his own tongue on a shell. Behind him, clad as a Franciscan and holding a white lily, is St. Antony of Padua, who was renowned for his preaching activities and brilliant elocution. The eloquence of St. Antony was thus contrasted with John’s preserved silence.
