Description
Group Portrait is a suite of fifteen poems about Herman Landshoff's 1942 photograph of European artists exiled in New York - one for each of the fourteen sitters in the photograph and one for Landshoff himself. The poems are spoken in many voices and assume a variety of shapes, while taking a curious, irreverent approach to canonical artists and writers including Max Ernst, Leonora Carrington, Andre Breton, and Piet Mondrian. This collaboratively-authored project explores the photograph and the people in it, their relationships with each other, their time, and by reflection, ours.
