Carl Beam : The Columbus BoatTools Rhodes, Richard. Carl Beam : The Columbus Boat. Toronto, Ont.: The Power Plant, 1992.
Abstract (English)Rhodes is primarily concerned with how Beam's reworking of historic images functions on a formal and connotative level - specifically, where his use of Columbus's portrait fits into the history of representations of Columbus, and how this operates on the (white) viewer's psychology. The author interprets the cycle as a challenge to the legitimacy of previous imagery.
