internationalartists – Page 29 – Painting After Art is Dead

Rita Ackerman

I follow a hashtag for Rita on IG- she show with Hauser & Wirth if you want more. Here’s a recent artist talk also.

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)

Francesco Polenghi

Francesco Polenghi, a painter whose unusual life course meant that his public career as an artist began only when he was in his late sixties, has died in his hometown of Milan at the age of eighty-four. Polenghi attended New York University, where despite his early interest in art he graduated with a degree in economics in 1961. He remained in New York until 1966, before returning to Italy.

Günther Uecker

For the first exhibition at their new Parisian location, Lévy Gorvy has adorned the large gallery with a series of six monumental and lyrical minimalist paintings by Group Zero’s Günther Uecker—mural-like in their consistent scale and limited blue and white palette—along with an array of small watercolors.

Jean-Michel Othoniel

Jean-Michel Othoniel is a contemporary French artist who works in a variety of media. Employing materials such as glass, wax, and sulphur, Othoniel explores ideas of material transformation. “I want to seduce you with their beauty then lead you to other themes,” he has explained of his work. I would agree they are seductive as I’m writing this blog after ogling the work below.

When I first began painting again in 2018 I found myself looking back in time a good bit. I don’t recall spending a lot of time on Léger in undergrad- the new found interest had to do with both his heavy use of black and the way he breaks up space (to me his paintings live in a space between being pre-Greenbergian surfaces and complex, implied spaces).

El Lissitzky

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.

Ben Nicholson

Blogging about Fernand recently got me thinking about other Modernists like Ben that have influenced me.

Volo Bevza

Booooooom thinks Metamorphose is noteworthy- agreed.

Antonietta Grassi

Overlaying candy-colored, geometric prisms with glimmering networks of lines that weave through and around them, painter Antonietta Grassi could easily be taken for the love child of Josef and Anni Albers. Yet while underscoring the contiguity of modernist composition and traditional craft, her exquisite abstractions also demonstrate the visual similarities between loom work and computer code.

Gerhard Richter

Reading about Tamina made me think about other artists that have exercised figurative and abstract modalities simultaneously (in Gerhard’s case with high visibility).
