Modern Diorama "Area Above San Rafael Reef, Utah" Lloyd Brown, 1999, Painting
Located in Brooklyn, NY
Stunning diorama by American artist Lloyd Brown. “View of Area Above San Rafael Reef, Utah” 1999. Signed and dated with gallery tags. I
Lloyd Brown has been fascinated with the viewer’s experience of panorama, particularly as it seems to negate the role of the artist, throughout his career. Tradition has it that the artist, whether painter or photographer etc is singularly responsible for framing a scene. Mr. Brown takes this task off the plate of the artist and thusly provides the viewer with not only more visual information but also the agency to see and understand what they might see and understand within the composition with their own eyes.
For example, Imagine if this composition did not include the information to your far right. The work would have been framed as a vista, a landscape painting, a scene of the horizon, the great American West. But by expanding (or in essence, breaking open) the frame, the viewer also sees the world of the artist, or the visual context as part of the vision. He or she stands on the same stained concrete as the artist , is able to see though their eyes but at the same time retain their autonomy by looking away from the vista. He or she does not have to see through the artists eyes and therefore understands the moment, experiences the moment, unencumbered by the task of looking. Viewer and artist are equal.
So one might ask, Is the scene about the grand vista? Is it a scene of the great American West as we expect it to be? Or is it a scene that although grand serves to accentuate the viewer’s sense of alienation or even isolation and smallness in the moment, during the experience of the painting and ultimately throughout life’s path? The coupling of the mountains, garbage bins...

Antique, New and Vintage Shadow Boxes
Antique, new and vintage shadow boxes are an elegant way to present objects of deep importance or beauty in your space. Shadow boxes have long been a military tradition for displaying medals and awards.
Artists such as Joseph Cornell have used shadow boxes because of the dramatic visuals they can achieve as a three-dimensional piece. In recent years, shadow boxes have grown in popularity as home decor. A clean, empty shadow box presents everyone the opportunity to create a personal art piece. What goes into the shadow box solely depends on the artist’s vision, meaning there is no concrete design that each shadow box displays.
Shadow boxes vary in size and style, lending flexibility for different aesthetics in a room. They can also come premade or with only a frame for more customization and personalization. When you’re thinking about how to arrange art in your living room or dining room, integrating shadow boxes into a maximalist approach such as a salon-style gallery wall can add a dramatic touch and draw attention to whatever kind of work you’ve decided to place in the box.
On 1stDibs, find antique, vintage and 21st-century shadow boxes. Shadow boxes are available from a range of creators and in diverse styles, including mid-century modern, Victorian, folk art and more.
