hardedgeabstraction – Page 18 – Painting After Art is Dead

Aaron Parazette

I got to take some classes with Aaron when I was at the University of Houston. At the time he was in the midst of a “movement” I can’t describe any better I think than cool abstraction. It was so refreshing after my somber undergrad experience. More on that.

Laurie Fendrich

Two Coats posted a great essay by Laurie, who is also a painter, earlier this month. As a self-identified formalist I find myself also asking what good is abstract painting often as well (more of my thoughts on that here, recently updated as a result of reading Laurie’s essay).

Pablo Palezuelo

Was born in and ended his life in Spain having absorbed and interpreted European and American Modernism.

More (I like his work from the latter part of the 20th century best)

Thomas Downing

Was at the Mint a while back where there is a nice painting by Thomas, who I learned later told Sam that the Washington Color School painting wasn’t about what was being written by Greenberg.

Felipe Pantone

Not hard to see why Juxtapoz wanted to cover Felipe’s newest.

Peter Gregory

A friend of mine picked up some Peter’s work recently.

Celia Johnson

You know you look at a lot of art when you get excited about seeing an artist you think is new to you in another artist’s feed and then you search them on IG and you already follow them.
