Marc Camille Chaimowicz Learning/Talking, November , 1989–90 Oil and charcoal on canvas and board, 43⅜ × 47⅝ in. Marilyn and Larry Fields Collection
Chaimowicz is interested in challenging historical categories of fine and decorative arts, and blurring the boundaries between public and private space. This diptych combines pattern design, graceful bodily curves, and the artist’s characteristic palette of pastel shades. Positioned as if in conversation, the two panels seem to mirror each other while also remaining different. The title of the work suggests an act of speech and the transformative potential of exchange. —HJ
