Mark Ryden’s “A Gay 90’s Old Tyme”
We found via WickedHalo an interesting review of Mark Ryden's solo show at the Paul Kasmin Gallery in New York. “The central theme of “The Gay 90s: Old Tyme Art Show” references the idealism of the 1890s while addressing the role of kitsch and nostalgia in our current culture. “In the modern era, sentimentality and beauty have been disdained in the art world. This new work explores the line between attraction and repulsion to kitsch, and between beauty and banality.”
