Lori Anne Parker, Ph.D. candidate in philosophy and editor at the Frist Center, will examine the art of Hyman Bloom and Karl Zerbe, two American painters associated with the Boston Expressionist school that emerged in the 1930s and 1940s. During their careers Bloom and Zerbe dedicated themselves to portraying the human figure, even when the popularity of doing so was in decline. Using paint to express the weight and demands of the flesh, both artists portrayed the living (and dead) body in ways that explore the human subject as a manifestation of embodied experience the subject as body, the body as self. Paintings in the exhibition that will be discussed are Bloom's Female Corpse Back View (1947) and Zerbe?s self-portrait Job (1949).
