Carl Holty

at Valerie Carberry Gallery


Untitled, 1943
Self-made man (or woman). He builds himself out of emptiness(the lower part) by hope and faith in himself (blue figures). His main tools are hard work (dark grey figures) and persistence( light grey figures). The glue is purposefulness (black lines). He is selfish (red figures), and sometimes greedy (orange figures). He is open to new things. The whole structure is fluid as a banner in the wind.
