American Myth & Memory: David Levinthal Photographs brings together six of the artist’s best known bodies of work to explore some of the myths found in American popular culture and examine their place in our collective memory.
Created between 1984 and 2018, the series Modern Romance, American Beauties, Wild West, Barbie, Baseball and History all explore quintessentially American themes and imagery. Despite their playful veneer, Levinthal’s images provide a lens through which we can examine the myths and stereotypes lurking within our most beloved pastimes and enduring heroes. Levinthal invites us to consider the stories we tell about ourselves, what it means to be strong, beautiful, masculine, feminine, and ultimately, American.
