	The still life has been considered by art historians to be a lowly genre and perhaps paintings of appliances are sending up such an opinion. Marty Walsh's Atomic Age Appliances are painted in the 18th century style, with a dark background going to infinity: a link with the past. They put the 20th century appliance in the foreground, each in all its insouciance. There is the Pulse-O-Matic blender with its ten buttons and the minty green SHAKEMASTER with its sexy toggle switch. The MIXMASTER, cream-colored matriarch with white bowls, presides over the assembly which includes the princess, a pretty pink Mixette and the evil Presto Hotdogger which actually electrocutes food. This work is clearly about memory reveling in sensual delight but which also carries a darker freight. They re-mind us. They tell us to think again about a time which suddenly seems new, in its apparent innocence when hope and prosperity were fresh. Walsh's paintings ask us to look, be taken by the charm of these paintings and then be still. excerpt from Essay by Poet and Award winning writer Susan Andrews Grace read full essay "Whirr, Buzz and Presto"  HERE .
