Scope and Contents

This catalogue prints interviews with Tim Rollins (an art teacher) and KOS of the background behind the subject which began with the reading of a book on Grunewald in Rollins collection in 1982 by Carlos Rivera, a 12 year student with learning disability, who was asked to reproduce his favorite painting in the book. Rivera selected The Temptation of Saint Antony, did an impressive drawing of the work which was enjoyed by the rest of Rollins' class to the point where other artists' versions were shown. The latter included Schongauer, Brueghel, Bosch, Callot, Redon, Ensor, and Ernst. The influence of these images and the text on Rollins group over the years led them to do their own interpretations of the work as watercolor studies, paintings and finally prints at Crown Point press. The catalogue includes several reproductions including an etchings from "The Temptation of Saint Antony" series, a work held by the Sackner Archive. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
