Among the paintings on view in Dana Schutz’s exhibition “The Island” is one called To Have a Head, 2017. This could have made a good alternate title for the show, as heads—and questions about how it feels to have or be one—are prominent in most of the fifteen paintings and five drawings on display. The painting shows a figure in a posture of despair, hands on head. The protagonists of other works appear anxious, burdened, or uncomfortable—but at the same time they also look funny or absurd. The recent group portrait The Arbiters, 2023, shows some outsize potato heads, while Face Eater, 2004, one of Schutz’s best known and most hilarious portraits, is a head in the process of eating itself.
