Tu m’ is a catalog of ideas about painting. Like the readymades, Tu m’ requires viewers to draw their own meaning from its elements.
SvarSletAmong these elements is a long array of color swatches, receding into the distance and zooming into the foreground.
The swatches are painted, but the topmost swatch is “fastened” to the surface of the painting with an actual metal bolt.
Spread across the canvas are are three painted shadows of everyday objects, including some that were readymades.
A long bottle-brush, almost two feet in length, protrudes from the canvas at a right angle.
The bottle brush emerges from a tromp l’oeil rip in the canvas.
The rip is simulated in paint, but it is “repaired” with actual safety pins.
Below the rip is a hand, painted by a commercial sign painter and signed by him, “A. Klang.”
The hand points to a white rectangle rendered in perspective, like a floating blank canvas, immediately below the protruding bottle brush.
