Painting After Art is Dead

Nonggirrnga Marawili

taps the Earth for her materials and muses. Her works—prints, works on paper, paintings on bark, and larrakitj (memorial poles made from the bark of eucalyptus trees)—are often made with natural ochers that coalesce in spontaneous webs of lines and dots. The resulting works are ethereal, expressive interpretations of water.

Ross Manning

Artforum wrote some words about a survey of this significant Aussie’s which inspired me to learn more about the work he does which is as much about sound as visual experiences.

Latiff Mohidin

Artreview has a nice write up about a retrospective of Latiff’s Pago Pago series from the ‘60s which are as you can see top shelf modernism.

Barbara Takenaga

Since I do love Yayoi Kusama’s paintings I had to look at this piece which lead me to Barbara. Wow!

Suzan Frecon

Suzan has been making art for a minute so of course Artforum notes her newest.

I’ve heard of Benjamin since I’m from “down East” myself and was pleased to see below included in Front Burner. If you’re from the Triangle, check this one out (and see Leonardo’s work while you’re there).

Frank Holliday

John Yau at Hyperallergic says Frank is a painter for a heated world and then elaborates on some of Frank’s fantastic new work.

Paul Klee

Thinking about the quality of the chroma in Helen’s work made me think of many of Paul’s watercolor and guache works. As a true Modernist and a gifted painter, his work has been a big influence.

Helen Frankenthaler

was in the news recently.

Helen was easily one of the most respected women artists in her time which was the middle of the last century, when she was the first to showcase the stain technique so many of her second generation peers utilized. If you’ve seen one of her better ones you know how absolutely breathtaking her work can be.

On the occasion of Gallery Weekend Berlin, Keweing has presented a selection of work by this “decisive pioneer of analytical painting, Girke’s position counts among the most important in German painting post-1945. In October he would have celebrated his 90th birthday.”

More (yes, his works makes me think of Robert Ryman also).
