Umschlagtext
Featuring an extraordinarily diverse set of contributors - poets and art historians, novelists and Composers, curators, actors, film critics, and more - this collection explores and illuminates a masterpiece of contemporary American art.
"Simon Dinnerstein's Fulbright Triptych is one of those singular and astonishing works of art which seem to imply a description of the whole world merely by insisting on a scrupulous gaze at one perfect instant. It functions as a time capsule and a mirror for its viewers' souls, and so, despite personal and historical referential elements, has become permanently contemporary and universal. No surprise that it has now served as a point of instigation for a cycle of astonishing written responses; this book is like tuning the painting in like a radio, to a station where these responses were always already playing." —Jonathan Lethem "In The Suspension of Time, Dinnerstein continues the life of "A". Being an artist, yet also recognizing oneself as the protagonist in an artist's project, must evoke curious and complex feelings - not unlike seeing oneself turn or being turned into a character in a novel." —J.M. Coetzee Standing over six feet tall and fourteen feet wide and spanning three Wood Panels, The Fulbright Triptych is a masterpiece of contemporary American art. Reproducing a vast array of visual, literary, and historical references, this striking Family Tableau inspires and challenges the viewer to reflect on the meaning of time, the construction of experience, the nature of Family, and the wonder of art's creation. Rezension
Ein junger jüdischer Künstler aus New York reiste 1970 mit seiner Frau nach Europa, um die alten Meister (insbesondere Dürer) zu studieren. Er landet in der Nähe von Kassel in einem kleinem nordhessischen Städtchen (Hessisch-Lichtenau) abseits der Kunstszene voller Kleinbürgerlichkeit. Ausgerechnet dort begann er sein größtes Werk.
Das Triptychon seines Lebens ist voller detailreicher Anspielungen, realistischer Darstellungen und Verknüpfungen mit seinem Leben, seiner Familie, seiner Geschichte, seinen Vorbildern und dem, was ihm sonst noch wichtig ist. Das Buch zeigt viele Details des zimmergroßen und detailreichen Gemäldes und enthält Impressionen zahlreicher bekannter und (seelen-)verwandter Menschen, die sich mit dem Künstler und seinem Werk intensiv auseinandergesetzt haben.

The Suspension of Time is a collection of essays on Dinnerstein’s masterpiece, The Fulbright Triptych. It includes writing by an extraordinarily diverse range of contributors, from the Pulitzer-Prize-winning novelist Jhumpa Lahiri to acclaimed poet Dan Beachy-Quick, and from art historians such as Colin Eisler, Albert Boime, and Thomas M. Messer to composer George Crumb and actor John Turturro. Each essay in The Suspension of Time offers its unique perspective, but taken as a whole they develop a dialogue of collaboration that directly reflects The Fulbright Triptych’s inherent message of symphonic connectivity, and demonstrate the rich potential for collaboration between visual, literary, musical, and other arts.
