Gesturing toward both the spatial distortions of M. C. Escher and the stark surrealism of Giorgio de Chirico, Jim Starrett’s Untitled (1984–85) is an image of a roofless chamberlike space containing a chair, a small window set high in a wall, and a set of stairs apparently leading to a lower room. Though it is not abstract, it possesses the otherworldly quality of a dreamscape in which there is a collision of space, symbol, and object. But what is this space? A living room? Waiting room? Office? Prison cell?
