Barry Nemett on Pat Steir’s Dysrhythmic Downpours
Then there’s that lone, feathered creature from a soggy flock — a hood ornament of a jittery bird facing jittery geometry.
Alison Kruvant on Hedda Sterne
She saw New York as a “Surrealist” city. With its unfathomable density, extreme juxtapositions, and collective lack of sleep, the city hasn’t changed much.
Heide Fasnacht on Jack Whitten and Gerhard Richter
Gerhard may be the Jack of all Trades but Jack was the King.
Anna Shukeylo on Barbara Laube: For Love of Painting and Rebirth
A rich raspberry and cream sorbet-colored brushstroke envelops the two-inch surface.
Mariel Herring on Chuta Kimura
Imagine if de Kooning and Matisse painted a landscape together, and maybe Bonnard was their professor/mentor? That’s ya boi Kimura.
Julian Kreimer on Andrea Belag's Sunday Painter
The newest paintings convey a lot of those--the lightness that attends letting go, the playfulness and humor that comes when one is attentively waiting, waiting.
Brenda Goodman on Her Work in Stages
There is something about feeling that rightness of a painting when I’m 75 that feels so very satisfying.
Wendy Letven on Simona Prives
The alchemy of using a fragment of a scan of parsley to represent a forest was a revelation.
Eric Fischl on Max Beckmann’s Departure
The woman and man are eternally bound in a psychopathologically perverse interpretation of yin and yang.
Brian Alfred on Jo Baer
Its minimal linear elements raced around the side of the canvas and played with my expectations of where paint would normally be.
Raoul Middleman on Paul Cezanne
There is almost a metaphysical postponement of finish throughout these portraits, a hesitation as if waiting for an informant of the future to complete them.
Carol Diamond on Al Held
Each hue resonates as cool or warm, deep or shallow, allowing the eye and the sensibility to soak in energy, light and form as pure color sensation.
Yvette Gellis on Katharina Grosse
Then there is the color itself - the purity of color and the psychological effects that pure color can have not only on the eye, but also on one’s emotional states and well-being.
David Humphrey on William John Whittemore
I like thinking, though, that the painting makes a complete body out of dispersed heterogeneous parts, a complicated body constrained and subdivided by guardrails, pedestals, canvas edges, bowler hats and neckties.
Tom Levy on Hans Hartung
But with Hartung it felt different. He did what I am currently trying to do.
Riad Miah on Amanda Church
If we were to think about the image in terms of language, it would be a noun or a verb.
David Reed on Caravaggio: Whirlpool - The Martyrdom of St. Ursula
The strange pattern of forms that now obsessed me implied a resolution of that split in consciousness between St. Ursula’s and Caravaggio’s portrait...
Luke Murphy on Robert Fludd
What it tries to contain — an unimaginable nothingness — is so beyond its simple means...
Roberto Juarez on Hilma af Klint
Her paintings spoke to me in a personal yet enigmatic way. I had yet to experience anything like them.
