Description

David Levinthal's "History" is a culmination of his work over three-and-a-half decades. The series explores how imagery from mass media influences our memory, imagination, and identity. Levinthal creates elaborate scenes using vintage toy figurines and play sets, often based on historical events depicted in movies and on TV. These compositions blend familiar images with new interpretations, inviting the viewer to consider the role of existing images in our understanding of the past. The resulting works, which include large prints of the constructed scenes, suggest a nuanced relationship between history, memory, and personal identity. By combining notions of play and fantasy with historical memory, Levinthal's art encourages a thoughtful examination of how we interpret and engage with the past. The exhibition of "History" at the George Eastman House in Rochester, NY, USA, from February 7 to May 10, 2015, highlights the significance of this body of work.
