The Suspension of Time: Simon Dinnerstein & The Fulbright Triptych Seeing an abundance of photographic details of a single painting (about 40) combined with the heft of this book (over 300 pages) led me to expect a typical art history, a formal and iconographical analysis focused on a single masterpiece. I was wrong. This is not to say that The Fulbright Triptych (1974) is or is not a masterpiece; it is still young and has yet to pass the test of time. Rather, the book is not typical art history. The Suspension of Time: Reflections on Simon Dinnerstein and The Fulbright Triptych is a book composed of exactly what the title claims.
