Marsha Klein “Partially Veiled”, 2009. Oil on canvas, 48 x 60 in.
The painting by Marsha Klein “Partially Veiled” is an excellent example of metaphorical vision. Female heads look like flaming candles and like streams of blood. Veils make faces look even more like melting candles. And they also look like bandages, putting even more weight on the allusions of wound, pain and vulnerability. The composition is reducible to the abstract pattern that opposes the yellow of melting wax and the red of blood or fire. This strong foundation of abstraction justifies the figurative aphorism, and makes it intensely convincing.
