Jesus was the source (#rip) for a couple of the gems in the stellar #SurModerno at #MOMA. Mad snaps to the museum for focusing on the breadth of Modernism (I too have a love of Concretist artists like Lygia and Virginia)- it makes the import of the aesthetic response to the epoch more rich. Amazing work in this show of which I’ll share more.

Lee is no longer with us. Schooled on the west coast and influenced by topography and transcendental philosophy, he made a few nice ones in his day.

is at the #Acklandmuseum. Many folks know her infinity chambers (her installation at #ncma in 2018 stole the show) but not her painting. Glad I got to see the one below at the #armoryshow since COVID19 might shut things down before I get over to UNCCH.
I also found this little piece about Donald Judd interesting, which starts off with a story about his reaction to her work.

This overview of Modernist abstraction in the Arab world is a great show I got to see recently- Mohammed has two very nice pieces in it.

Funny that Op Art should pop into my feeds twice in one week. Patrick and Hanz collaborated on a solid piece that’s in Hard Painting x2.

What more can I say about the democratizing effect of non-mimetic modalities on the arts that would do justice to the rise of a night shift guard at MOMA to the rightful prominence Sol occupies as a conceptual artist*? Just read.
*Right- one should also note that, even though he abandoned the idea of a master narrative in art that preferenced painting, he didn’t abandon the notion that geometric forms are uniquely human.

I follow a hashtag for Charline’s work which is great because I get the whole ouvre (she just had a retro last year at the Hirshhorn).
