• Resumen

  • The article presents information on a show of artist Natalie Charkow Hollander at New York's Lohin-Geduld Gallery in 2004. Most of the pieces in Charkow Hollander's show were based on the work of artists ranging from Piero della Francesca to Henri Matisse. But Charkow Hollander does not simply transcribe pictorial illusions of mass and space as literally three-dimensional objects. Instead, she uses her chosen images as starting points for near-abstract dramas in which potent narratives are suggested by blunt forms. Instead of building up masses from a background plane to suggest three-dimensional forms in space, as in traditional relief, Charkow Hollander treats the surface of her stone block as though it were an implacable plane defining the separation between our external world and the internal world of her sculptures.
