Peter Michael Martin's Corporeal Visions: Love, Death, and Democracy in Moby-Dick

David L. Rosenthal

Summary: This essay examines the depictions of bodies in artist Peter Michael Martin's recent works, focusing on his woodblock prints, papercuts, sculptures, and photographs. Through analyzing Martin's portraits of individuals and collectives, the essay probes the tensions between connection and isolation, friendship and subjugation. The essay also discusses Martin's larger-scale works designed for public spaces, which reframe the social visions of Ishmael and Ahab as conflicts between democracy and totalitarianism. In addition, the essay argues that Martin's use of the nude form represents artistic vulnerability and aligns with Melville's emphasis on radical self-expression for social transformation.
