Winkfield's vocations: for a recent series of paintings, Trevor Winkfield took as his subject various fields of human endeavor, from ornithology to navigation to poetry. As is this artist's wont, the compositions are zany, enigmatic and disjunctive
Art in America, Jan, 2003 by Lance Esplund
Followers of Winkfield's work might wonder why his exhibitions never include the originals of the drawings he makes for his literary collaborations. The explanation is simple and shocking: once the writing-inspired drawings have appeared in book form, Winkfield tears them up and throws them away! "Their reproduction achieves my ideal by reducing them to total flatness," writes the artist in an unpublished essay, "and I can't imagine a better fate for them than that."--Raphael Rubinstein
"Trevor Winkfield: Vocations" was seen at Tibor de Nagy Gallery, New York [Jan. 5-Feb. 2, 2002].
