The Translations, Jess’s series of paintings depicting found images, were begun in 1959, after he had the idea of creating a complex painting on the myth of Narcissus, classical mythology’s embodiment of self-reflection and image obsession. Daunted by the prospect of incorporating a vast number of figurative elements within a single work, Jess decided first to embark on a project that would teach him more about the craft of figurative art. The result was a group of paintings based on photographs, prints, and drawings, rendered in the manner of schematically outlined and colored paint-by-number canvases.
