Michele ZalopanyTrain: Monotype landscape painting of countryside sky and clouds in monochrome1988
1988
About the Item
Monotype painting of American landscape with sky and sweeping clouds, printed in muted colors and black and white. A large train cuts a path atop a ridge. Michele Zalopany's masterful draftsmanship is evident in this representation of a moving train viewed from below. Painterly strokes of dark green and taupe define sweeping clouds and sparse flora across the hillside, contrasting with the dense grey and black detail of the train cars.
Known for her large-scale realism and Detroit cityscapes, Zalopany often draws from found images, and juxtaposes the man-made with the natural. Here, a symbol of industry cuts through nature with the haunting air of an old photograph.
Paper 30 x 42 in. / 76 x 108 cm
Monotype on thick white mould-made paper. Signed by the artist and dated 1989 lower right in pencil. Annotated E verso in pencil. Printed at the Petersburg Press studios, New York.
Born in 1955 in Detroit Michigan, Michele Zalopany is a contemporary American artist best known for her large-scale watercolor and pastel paintings based on photographs found in digital picture collections, old books, and flea markets, etc. Found photographs and film screen shots that had originally served other purposes -- family snapshots, police photos, real estate, travel documentation -- when rendered, directly from the image, with traditional art materials, take on additional meanings, such as socio-psychological-political content.
She exhibited in the 1989 Whitney Biennial and her work is included in more than 25 institutions including the Museum of Fine Art, Boston; San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; Walker Art Center, Minneapolis; Yokohama Museum, Japan; Royal College of Art, London.
