- Things of Nature And the Nature of Things: John Wilde
In the McClain Collection, By Lisa Wainwright.
Published 2006 by
Chazen Museum
of Art. ISBN:0932900984. The Museum describes the books as follows: "Things
of nature and the nature of things have informed the work of John Wilde
for some seventy years. In painstakingly crafted vignettes of figures and
props and still life arrangements, Wilde serves up grand parables on the
existential condition of modern man. These are timeless and enduring narratives,
drawing on traditions from the northern and early Renaissance periods and
Flemish paintings to Symbolist and Surrealist iconography and strategy.
Wilde amasses a potpourri of sources and motifs and brings them up to the
present moment by setting his compositions in the Wisconsin landscape just
outside his studio door. In this exhibition, the McClain collection presents
a superb overview of Wilde's oeuvre. It includes the full palette of still
lifes, allegorical landscapes, and portraits, and covers the period of
Wilde's work from the 1940s to recent work from the 1990s." Note:
