Similarly, when Drapell painted his remembrance of the Kristallnacht (his 22 feet wide canvas \u201cRemember and Live\u201d 1988, now in the National Gallery, Prague) his aim was to elevate the work into the realm of something resembling the tragedies of Shakespeare: an artistic experience that does not overwhelm us with tragic gestures, but transcends the horrors through accomplished form. In this installation the familiar diptych is shown in a new and surprising orientation.<\/p>\n<p>The main room installation also includes the triptych \u201cAmerica, America\u201d. The title deliberately recalls Kazan\u2019s film of 1963, the story of millions of immigrants longing for America\u2019s freedom. In this triptych we may see the image of wings, of flight, and perhaps also the image of conception, the beginning of new life. We can also discern a lament for the disappearing ideal: the more complex reality of America.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><strong>September 10 &#8211; October 15, 2011<\/strong><br \/>\nOpening:Saturday, September 10, 2-6pm<\/p>\n<p><strong>New New Museum<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The art in this exhibition does not belong to the category of \u201cpolitical art\u201d; it comes from the artists\u2019 reaction to a tragic event in world affairs. <\/p>\n<p class=\"more-link-p\"><a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/?p=3024\">Read more &rarr;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3025,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[25],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3024","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-listings_archive"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3024","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3024"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3024\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3029,"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3024\/revisions\/3029"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/3025"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3024"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3024"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3024"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
