Joseph Heller Thinks About Catch-22 - Portrait Painting with Pastel Colors 2009

Creator: Bernard Aptekar
Offered by: Arco Gallery

Description
Aptekar's paintings are often a political and social commentary of the contradictions inherent to the human mankind. The surrealistic and expressionistic language used to covey the message, as well as the use of a palette with low contrast colors like light blue, green and pink, has it's roots in the work of Mexican muralist Diego Rivera, who Apterkar met at age of 11.
The outcome is an imagery of an extraordinary visual impact and absolutely unique to Aptekar's own creative process. The title of this artwork "Joseph Heller Thinks About Catch-22" references to the well known satirical novel by American author Joseph Heller.
