Για το έργο
A young giraffe appears on Lenore Tawney’s Giraffe, a 1979 postcard collage in the Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland. Baby animals in her imagery often refer to fragility or new life. Tawney sent the card to her friend Katherine Kuh, an art dealer, curator and critic. Forty-four such posted collages, dating from 1969 to 1981, entered the collection. For them, the textile maker used natural objects and ephemera accumulated throughout her life, building a recurring vocabulary that also included feathers, eggs and circular forms.
Με τα λόγια του μουσείου
This is one of 44 postcard collages in the CMA’s collection that the textile artist Lenore Tawney sent through the mail to her friend, the art dealer, curator, and critic Katherine Kuh between 1969 and 1981. Using natural objects and ephemera that she compiled over a lifetime, Tawney’s collages display the artist’s personal visual vocabulary and poetic response to materials. Recurring images—such as eggs, feathers, birds, baby animals, crosses, and circles—engage with universal themes such as vulnerability, resilience, infinity, and spirituality. Baby animals such as the giraffe on this postcard often refer to vulnerability or rebirth.
