Robert O. Lenkiewicz [1941-2002]- Diogenes and Belle at Prayer with Chairs:- Project 2. Death and The Maiden. 1974 oil on canvas 196 x 214cm. * Provenance. The Lenkiewicz Foundation Collection. *Notes Exhibited. The Painter with Women (Retrospective Section), ICC Birmingham 1994; Plymouth City Museum Retrospective, 1997; Wolverhampton Art Gallery, A Retrospective, 1998; At the Edge, Hartlepool Art Gallery 2007 and Novas Gallery 2008; Plymouth City Museum and Art Gallery, 2009; Royal West of England Academy, Bristol 2011; Torre Abbey 2011; Royal William Yard, Plymouth, 2012; Spinnerei, Leipzig, and Nuremberg, Germany, 2013 (see Introduction for post-2007 exhibition details). * Notes. Begun in the autumn of 1974 after a surprise visit to Plymouth by Lenkiewicz' muse Belle Pecorini, this painting was completed too late to feature in the first showing of its Project on the theme of Death and the Maiden. Nevertheless, Lenkiewicz was able to submit it, unsuccessfully, to the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition in 1975. The work was shown at Lenkiewicz's gallery called The Fool in Clifton Street in 1974, its one room more than large enough for the seventy pictures, many of which introduced a new turn in the artist's method: 'the aesthetic note' - smaller works, usually executed in watercolour or gouache on paper on which were inscribed notes written in the artist's hand. These works, numbering almost fifty, were later bound into a large folio with many more notes and annotated sketches of memento mori in art across world cultures, including sketches he made during visits to the Victoria and Albert Museum's collection. This folio is titled Death & The Maiden Paintings: R.O. Lenkiewicz and is in the collection of The Lenkiewicz Foundation. The vagrant Diogenes, Edwin Mackenzie, featured extensively in this Project. In The Putrefaction of Diogenes he himself appeared as a memento mori - a gruesome reminder that death is inevitable - but here the motif appears in the classical form of the skull, reinforced by Lenkiewicz' favourite visual metaphor for absence and loss - the empty chair. The subject matter of the exhibition was based on Lenkiewicz's observation that: 'An intense aesthetic/personality interest in another person seems always to carry with it the inevitability of change. In this change we witness the death of love and the decay of our interest. The undermining influence of this experience hints at the contact between 'Death and the Maiden' - between 'Love and Tragedy' - between life and us.' Literature R.O. Lenkiewicz (1997).
