Description: Arthur Rimbaud in NYC (la suena mexicana) The Silence of Marcel Duchamp is Overrated 6" X 4.25" offset printed Postcard | Frameable Copyrighted : The Estate of David Wojnarowicz, courtesy PPOW Gallery not digital not homemade not giclee not laser printed Marcel Duchamp: A French artist who who was influenced by Arthur Rimbaud's Festivals of Patience. He broke down the boundaries between art and everyday objects. His work is associated with Cubism, Dada, and conceptual art. Duchamp is known for his "readymades", which he argued could be elevated to art by the artist's choice. He also transformed the Mona Lisa into a man, creating a hybrid, androgynous ideal. “Each photograph from the Rimbaud in New York series presents a lone figure, presumably Wojnarowicz himself, in and around New York City – 42nd Street, the Meat Market, Coney Island – wearing a mask portraying the visage of the young Romantic poet, Arthur Rimbaud. The Rimbaud portrait comes from the only known photograph of him made by the renown Nineteenth Century French portrait photographer Etienne Carjat.” In 1978 David Wojnarowicz took a series of photographs of a man wearing a paper mask bearing the face of Arthur Rimbaud, the French poet. Wojnarowicz was 24 when he shot most of the Rimbaud in New York series, and the urban situations in which he poses the masked figure represent a specific moment in history: post-Stonewall but pre-AIDS, a land of sex, drugs, art, love, and wondrous bohemian existence. “The figures are posed, on the fly and in verité style, in various situations of public and semi-private urban life. They represent a very specific moment in history, a brief period of both innocence and raunch the City after Stonewall but before AIDS, a wonderland of sex and drugs, of art and love, of material poverty and overwhelming emotional richness. That was the world Wojnarowicz was formed in, and, as we know too well, it was followed by an era almost opposite in every regard, years when Manhattan became dominated by money and death, a sleek wealthy city rising, while an entire generation of gay men, drug users, and others were being buried.”for reference not for sale The negatives for Rimbaud in New York were produced between 1978 and 1979, when Wojnarowicz was an aspiring artist-author, merely 24 years old. It wasn’t until 1990 that he printed a small portfolio of 25 images for an exhibition at PPOW gallery in New York.
