Measuring 20 by 16 inches, Liberty is a vibrant, fractured homage to the French-gifted monument that stood watch as the Spirit of St. Louis lumbered into the sky over New York. The face and crown of Lady Liberty are deconstructed into thick, stained-glass-like shards of magenta, teal, and gold, channeling the spiritual and emotional color theory of Marc Chagall. The background is a pure Robert Rauschenberg assemblage, constructed entirely from original, meticulously drafted 1927 wing blueprints pulled directly from the Donald A. Hall Estate Archive. Completed after formal mentorship but rigorously critiqued by Leandro Soto, the canvas perfectly balances the unpretentious, raw aesthetic of Arte Povera with the exact, calculated mathematics that made the historic transatlantic crossing possible.
