Susan Morris
Was talking about automatism with a fellow artist who surprisingly was unfamiliar. In addition to other good material on the topic the Tate’s online presence has this great article on Susan “discussing her work in the context of involuntary drawing, Susan Morris provides a history of her practice by examining the art of Jules-Etienne Marey, Marcel Duchamp, Pablo Picasso and Tacita Dean.” Her work deriving from data on sleep patterns is also interesting.

Zarina Hashmi
Another icon that like Abraham we have lost recently. She was known simply as Zarina, and for her symbolist semi-abstract prints. Her website is still up.

Sarah Tortora
With their current round open for submissions I was looking through the website for the Hopper Prize and found this nice interview with Sarah on “the physicality of making sculpture, negotiating balance, creative catharsis & personal truth.” Links to her portfolio (not all of which is abstract/non-representational) and site in the article.

Abraham Palatnik
Abraham Palatnik, an important Brazilian modernist artist, has died at 92 of coronavirus-related complications. He was a Concretist like Lygia, practicing and making kinetic art, and was a member of Grupo Frente.

Hans Hoffman
Although not new to me, Hans entered my orbit a couple times recently (thanks Pinterest algorithm) so it was time to look a little more and collect some images. Teacher, painter- I dig it.

Arden Bendler Browning
In addition to making good work that’s included in a virtual show has some interesting things to say about being a parent and artist during #covid19.

Secundido Hernandez
Makes some large paintings. As someone who also has an academic background and is interested in an equilibrium between chaos and control, I’m in.

Erin Loree
Joelle Dietrick
has a nice piece in the #northcarolinaartistsexhibition at #CAMRaleigh. Clearly not all of her work is non-representational- I appreciate the way her work that is leverages an aesthetic borrowed from graphic design to create an intense relationship with viewers.
Ruth Asawa
“Asawa lived an extraordinary life independent of her incredible body of work. Her path was a series of trials overcome and small paradises found—from internment camps in America to, later, a creative coming-of-age at Black Mountain College and in San Francisco, where she lived until her death in 2013.
Her legacy of generosity and openness to the world continues to grow along with her reputation as an artist, which was underappreciated during her lifetime despite everyone from Josef Albers to Buckminster Fuller declaring her genius indisputable. But that has been changing, year by year—just a few weeks ago, the US Postal Service announced they would be featuring Asawa on a new stamp out this fall.”
