Act III: The Final Judgment: And had a vision of sweeter years Possibly 1980 - 1981

Arthur Tress created "Act III: The Final Judgement: And had a vision of sweeter years," and it’s kinda wild, right? It feels like a stage set, but everything's a bit off-kilter, like a dream you can't quite grasp. I imagine Tress piecing this together, maybe starting with the birdcage, then adding in those odd props—a billiard ball, an old portrait, even a wig stand, all set against that faded backdrop of an opera house. What’s that combination of the everyday and the theatrical all about? It’s all there on the surface. I get a sense of how Tress might be thinking about theater as a metaphor for life, where we’re all just playing our parts, stuck in our own little dramas. But who wrote the script? It is so suggestive. I can really feel Tress thinking through the surface of things, like a visual poem, all hinting at deeper meanings. Artists like Tress remind us to embrace ambiguity, to find beauty in the strange and unexpected.
