Karen Carson

Artforum notes Karen’s newest: Middle Ground is centered around her current bas relief works and her early “zipper” series, both bodies of work that deploy geometric configurations to explore the convergence of gender, nature and the material world.

Kazimir Malevich

Probably the best known of the Russian avant-garde, he was also El‘s mentor. Hard to imagine an artist who did more simultaneously to mythologize the artist and democratize artistic practice.

Roberto Burle Marx

Known as landscape architect more so than a visual artist, Pinterest though Roberto’s drawings like below would appeal given my interest in Fernand and Ben and El and Le Corbusier and Alice…

Richard Caldicott

Another British Modernist (though later to the game than Ben, and multidisciplinary as well) that’s worth a look.

Selma Parlour

Encountered Selma in Lucy’s IG feed (who I encountered in Prosaic97‘s)

Jenny Kemp

Not even sure how Jenny ended up in my IG feed- below caught my eye recently.

Since I’ve been thinking about Modernists like Ben and Fernand it made a sense to look farther East. Lazar Markovich Lissitzky was one of several Russians that influenced the arc of Art early in the last century.
