ジェラルド・マーフィー（Gerald Murphy）作『Watch』

2022.3.5 撮影

美術館のキャプション
The largest of Gerald Murphy's extant works, Watch is both personally symbolic and coolly analytical. The mechanical components in this painting come from two timepieces with biographical associations for Murphy: a railroad watch designed by his family's company, Mark Cross, and a gold pocket watch in his own possession. The combination of these sources and their fragmentation across the vast surface of the canvas, from multiple points of view, testify to the ever-changing nature of time itself and evoke the Cubist practice of representing the dynamic act of seeing by showing an array of visual data from various perspectives.
