Still Life with Metalworking Shop

(Ink on paper)
In this scene, we can see that the catalogue of the gone records itself among the catalogue of what remains. The objects resting in partial shadow upon the higher shelves (a single heatproof glove, fourteen nails in a box marked Pepsi-Cola,
fluid in a jar) most readily draw the eye, creating a sense of mystery but also directing the gaze eventually downward, as if through layers of soil. Particularly evocative in this instance—not often found in the still life, artists preferring the fruits of the hunt, or as is well known, literal fruit—are the boxes and boxes of relatively small-caliber bullets slotted into a custom-built storage unit, indicating that this shop was used almost exclusively for the fashioning of rifles. Suggestive of the card catalogues that once lined library walls, the array of ammunition invites the viewer to think about the organizational qualities of violence. An oiled rag indicates attention to detail. Questions for art educators: how does this scene juxtapose nostalgia and the domination of man over nature? What physical sensations are evoked by the hard lines of the anvil in the lower right-hand side of the frame? How do those sensations contrast with those produced by the empty, wheeled wooden chair, center off-left, rolled slightly away from a desk upon which rest yet more bullets, some graph paper, writing utensils, and other things now lost to the mind trying to retrieve this picture for the viewer? How do you think the owner of this chair might react if his son married someone who was not white?
