Reflection of a City Dwelling Musician, 1990
Scope and Contents
Commissioned for "The Beauty In Breathing" exhibition. Horndeski paints a bold colored, central image and surrounds it with a black wooden frame onto which he writes a narrative in white paint. The entire frame is utilized for text including mirror writing on the top and bottom. In this work, a boy is playing classical music with a French horn but around him nature is polluted by black smoke from industry. The narrative relates to music and lung anatomy. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
