Callum Innes

One of Britain’s best known abstract painters, Callum Innes works in the language of monochrome painting, rendering color fields within geometric grids or dividing his canvases bilaterally. For his ongoing series of “Exposed Paintings”, Innes engages in a process of addition and subtraction, layering pigments onto the canvas, then removing the oil paint with washes of turpentine. This method, which he describes as “unpainting,” leaves only traces of the paint’s former color.

Piet Mondrian

Getting ready to teach the history of Abstract Painting made me realize I’d never blogged about Piet, the founder of De Stijl and easily one of the most recognizable early Modernists.

More on How Piet Mondrian’s Abstractions Became a New Way to See the World.

Rick Grime

Been following Rick on IG, nice to finally see one ITR at 311 Gallery in Raleigh.

Since I’m not a historian by training or trade, I continually find it cool to learn about artists with a firm place in the canon– like Jean- while in the process of putting together a lecture on, say, Modernism and Concrete art.
