EXPRESSIONISM ON DISPLAY

Overindulgence has been blamed for dulling the force of surrealism in art and leaving in the movement's wake wisps of incantations which are incoherent and irrelevant. But Lynn Kauffman( Morris) has a beautifully-honed show of surrealism at Theatre Memphis.
Most of the works are monochrome pen-and-ink drawings, although several include transparent watercolor washes and acrylic paintings.
Lynn Kauffman prefers to call the works expressionistic and declines to reveal what they express. Regardless of the label, the works easily could have been done under the influence of Kurt Seligman, with their spiraling contortions and visionary scenes as though dreamed on the island of Patmos.
Certain characteristics flavor each of her works, as if her message is allegorical but contained in the world of legend.
The interpretation of her works follows the precept of Andre Breton, called the " Pope of Surrealism". Breton once defined surrealism as the" dictation of thought free from the exercise of reason and every esthetic or moral preoccupation".
Lynn Kauffman seems to be working alone, with her own version of the world and unconcerned with that of others. She does not deprive her objects of their conventional purposes in order to give them new ones, but she does use them in strange situations.
Each of her works seem to echo the philosophies of Andre Masson and Yves Tanguy. They saw a perpetual struggle between life and death and hunted mysteries presented by the infinity of the sky and the depths of the ocean. The Commercial Appeal, Memphis, Sunday, Jan. 28, 1979
Lynn Kauffman( Morris) is a graduate of the Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design in Jerusalem, Israel. Bezalel is Israel's oldest institution of higher education(1906) and is one of the world's most prestigious art schools.
