Big review for 'Henry Taylor: B Side' at @moca in the @latimes⁠ ⁠ @therealchristopherknight writes, "Taylor’s scenes of everyday life perform what might be called stop-motion image-making. Formal stasis presses against visible paint handling. The picture sticks in your brain, while your body responds to the painterly scene. Sometimes the subject is grim, which adds to the impact."⁠ ⁠ Read the full review via linkinbio.⁠ ⁠ Exhibition catalog published by @delmonico_books⁠ ⁠ Edited by Bennett Simpson.

“He paints everybody because he knows who’s in pain, who’s happy,” @lhoptman says: “There are communities of people, including his own family, who he has depicted with magnificence — his brother who was in the Black Panthers and two who were in Vietnam; homages to his mom — and they just break your heart.”⁠ ⁠ @rpogrebin profiles @henrytaylorart at @moca in the Sunday @nytimes ⁠ ⁠ "The collector @bernardlumpkin — who bought a Taylor work early on and now also owns the artist’s drawings and sculptures, called Taylor a connector. 'People gravitate around Henry the way planets surround the sun,' he said. 'Everybody is family to Henry. … He centers people who are at the margins,' Lumpkin added. 'The caddies of the world, the maids of the world, the nameless people, the homeless people.'⁠ ⁠ 'Henry Taylor: B Side' exhibition catalog published by @delmonico_books⁠ ⁠ Edited by Bennett Simpson.
