Wolfe von Lenkiewicz - Man Proposes God Disposes, 2013 Oil on canvas, 240 x 140 cm
In Man Proposes God Disposes Lenkiewicz conflates Edwin Henry Landseer’s eponymous painting of 1864 with an icescape from Frederic Church’s The Icebergs (1861), with the addition of a corpse from Géricault’s The Raft of the Medusa. Church’s original painting is devoid of all living beings and instead evokes the glories of the pristine environment as God’s temple.
Landseer’s work made just two years later, presents the grimly materialistic potential for equating man and beast. By referencing this nineteenth century shift in notions of the sublime, Lenkiewicz crafts a non-linear history, and by doing so reconfigures the normal rules of narrative structure.
