Overloading the Grid (David Byrne) (Talking Heads, Punk Rock, Creativity, Innovation) Screen print on thick white Speckletone paper Year: 2024 Size: 24x18 inches Edition: 550 Signed, dated and numbered by hand COA provided Ref.: 924802-2086 *Lead time may vary between 10-14 Days Tags: #TalkingHeads #PunkRock #Creativity #Innovation "I've been a fan of the Talking Heads since I was a kid, listening to songs like “Once in A Lifetime” and “Burning Down the House” on the radio. This was long before I discovered punk rock and realized the band's significant role in the nascent punk scene at CBGB’s in mid-70s NYC. Watching the film Stop Making Sense on HBO as a teenager left me intrigued by David Byrne's peculiar yet fearless performance in an absurdly oversized suit. Little did I know then that Byrne's exploration of life's awkwardness was precisely his forte! As I grew more sophisticated, I came to appreciate the Talking Heads' creative adventurousness both musically and visually. Learning that David, Tina, and Chris all attended the Rhode Island School of Design, the same art college I went to, added another layer of connection. For the “Overloading the Grid” (David Byrne) print, I collaborated with photographer Bobby Grossman...

Printed in Germany in 1923 for the very rare Kunst der Gegenwart portfolio, published in Munich by Marées-Gesellschaft, R. Piper & Co., with the Marées-Gesellschaft blindstamp in the margin. The printer was Fritz Voigt, of Berlin. This impression is one of 220 printed on cream wove paper from a total edition of 300 (consisting of 220 on wove and 80 on japon paper). The image measures 13 3/4 x 13 inches (350 x 331 mm); the total sheet measures 20 1/2 x 18 1/2 inches (520 x 472 mm) with full original margins and deckle edges. In very good condition; with minor creasing near the edges of the sheet and a tiny pinhole in the space above the figure's right eye (hardly visible). This is one of several portraits of a mysterious woman called "Naila" that were done by Max Beckmann. It is now known that Naila was Dr. Hildegard Melms, and that Beckmann had an affair with her in 1923, the same year he executed this print. This important German Expressionist woodcut...

Elected member of the Secession. He often used wood-cutting techniques that were popular amongst German Expressionists. Steinhardt was driven to express ideas clearly and decisively through art. Amongst the themes found in his work the prophets of the Bible, such as Jonah, are noticeable. Steinhardt identified deeply with Jonah due to his attempt to run from God's call to duty. Additionally, the image of beggars was often found in Steinhardt's works and in his artistic presentation of the less fortunate, the artist's love for his fellow man becomes evident. Moreover, the grotesque was a theme noticeable in Steinhardt's earliest pieces. These were fantastical images; it was unclear whether or not they were human or demon. In the 1950's, Steinhardt returned to these images upon learning of the Holocaust of Europe's Jews. At that time he resided in New York and there, in the shadow of the skyscrapers, Steinhardt's reaction to WWII was expressed through his art.
