El Anatsui and Georgina Maxim

Saw El at Biennale and was over the moon to walk into NCMA and find that our state is now home to a great piece of his- his modality is similar to Elias Simes, another great hailing from Africa which NCMA has included in the permanent collection. Georgina is also an African artist, who’s work is included because, like El, it reminds me of another artist (Al Loving). Juxtaposing is fun.

Pat Passlof and Milton Resnick

While both canon icons are deceased, a Two Coats article on a posthumous show at their foundation spurred me to create a Pinterest for Pat, only to find that their algorithms also thought it a sensible pairing with Milton.

Helene Herzbrun and Grace Hartigan

Hyperallergic paired these two recently, underscoring that there were contributions to the canon outside of the group known as the Ninth Street Women and the Washington school of color. I wasn’t familiar with Grace’s (RIP) work from the early ’70s. The images link to Pinterest “galleries.”
