MWW Artwork of the Day (3/10/23) Helen Lundeberg (American, 1908-1999) Double Portrait of the Artist in Time (1935) Oil in fiberboard, 121.3 x 101.6 cm. Smithsonian American Art Museum, Washington DC

In "Double Portrait of the Artist in Time," the artist actually presents herself four different ways. She copies a pose from a childhood snapshot, reproduces a self portrait, casts her shadow between the child and the picture, and then signs her name to the painting. The child sits with objects symbolizing her youth and inexperience: a clock whose hands indicate her age, a parchment suggesting her unwritten future, and a budding stem representing her undeveloped state. The mature woman, knowing more of the world, holds a blooming flower and ponders an open globe-shaped box. The shadow suggests the physical presence of the living woman who was the child and is the adult. The signature asserts that Helen Lundeberg created the whole. Ultimately, the painting makes visible the intangible notion that a person exists on many different levels, as many different people at the same time.

There’s a lot of exceptional work on view for A Shadow Set Free, the group exhibition at Palm Springs Art Museum. Above are a few of the standouts, as well as one of two walls on which numerous works are grouped together.

From the museum about the exhibition and its theme-

A Shadow Set Free presents a selection of sculpture, photography, painting, drawings and prints from roughly the last 100 years. Though very different in style, subject matter and historical context, the works are united in their ability to evoke a sense of memory and convey an otherworldly aura.

The artists forgo an interest in the bright light of objective reality in favor of creating dream worlds, maintaining a rootedness in everyday reality while remaining free from specific histories. Together they demonstrate the various ways that modern and contemporary art imbues the familiar, external world with a spirit of subjectivity.

This exhibition closes 8/4/24.
