Title: John O'Reilly : Assemblies of Magic
Description: Santa Fe, New Mexico; Andover, Massachusetts, Twin Palms Publishers; Addison Gallery of American Art, Phillips Academy, 2002. Hardcover. Burgundy cloth boards, B/W illustrated DJ. 188 pp. Catalog of an exhibition held at the Addison Gallery of American Art, Phillips Academy, Andover, Mass. 3 Sept.-22 Dec. 2002. From the artist's website: Like all obsessive artists, photocollage practitioner John O'Reilly spends hours and days on end in his studio, fine-tuning his intricate, idiosyncratic cut-and-paste compositions. On those rare occasions when O'Reilly feels limited within the confines of his own studio, he visits those of fellow artists such as Picasso, Pissaro and Ingres, often making cameo appearances in their masterpieces. In daring feats of illusionary transformation, O'Reilly time-travels through centuries of art history and rummages around the studios and canvases of his idols, searching for clues to his own identity.
