ephemerality of form and space

Here we see the slain bod­ies of five Ger­man ges­tur­al strokes laid across a res­i­den­tial side­walk in the Squig­gle Mas­sacre of 1905.

Per­haps one of the most pow­er­ful and in­ter­pel­lat­ing as­pects of this scene is that one of them is a child — a tes­ta­ment to the true bru­tal­i­ty of the ab­stract sieges of the ear­ly twen­ti­eth century.

Such im­agery forces us to con­sid­er the lega­cy of the curvi­lin­ear forms we have come to take for grant­ed. It is a com­men­tary on the ephemer­al­i­ty of form and space in a time be­fore acid-free paper.

Al­though it may seem a bit heavy hand­ed, I think it’s im­por­tant for us to re­mem­ber the true cost of mod­ern art.
