Rose Marasco

One of the images from Rose’s My Art Show series from this Hyperallergic write up caught my eye, and glad it did. Using found materials is a cousin, I think, of the sort of automatism that is the root of much abstract painting. Her mimic pieces are great examples of true abstraction as well, I find, and also utilize found objects.

Michael West

Great retrospective of Corrine Michelle West’s work is up at Hollis Taggart. I think it is the essence of Modernist conceptions of “the Artist” (and truly American) in spirit that so many women made such great work during this era despite knowing it might never be seen let alone influence the canon. They were all painting a new world.
