Title: Untitled, Jewish New Year 5757, 1998
Lithograph
Colorful and with an accumulation of detail, Nancy Chunn's paintings convey controlled chaos through visual metaphor and snappy slogans. She creates a commentary that covers a range of emotions in reaction to the simultaneous coverage of the harrowing and the banal--outrage, cynicism, laughter, grief and disbelief.
Chunn uses symbol, signage and mapping strategies to advance the narrative. Related to the authority and directness of rubber stamps, the images convey meaning - quickly and universally. Reoccurring motifs mirror the repetition of the news; dollar bills, coffins and numbers represent corruption, death and the astronomical.
Chunn is a two-time recipient of the National Endowment of the Arts Fellowship, in addition to a Guggenheim Fellowship Award.
This lithograph was created as part of a special graphics program by Vera List exclusively for The Jewish Museum.
