"The straightforward, clearly revealed structure of his [Donald Judd's] art, its honest use of materials, its saturated colors, formed a kind of visual morality, a set of principles not only to make art by but to judge art by, to display art by, to build furniture and buildings by and, ultimately, to live by." Roberta Smith, NYT

#FridayFeature Picasso's Classical period can seem like a regressive way station between the rigors of his Cubist works and the alternately feverish and languorous machinations of his Surrealist phase....And he was not exactly taking it easy, much less moving backward, even when working in a Classical mode....His close study of things like drapery, bridgeless noses and small, full lips -- which was facilitated by a trip to Italy in 1917 -- is underscored by the inclusion of two Greek heads and the torso from a Roman copy of a caryatid from the Erechtheum....Picasso's Classical images tend to be peopled by rooted, sausage-fingered women in Grecian coifs and white gowns. Rendered in a subdued, implicitly sculptural palette of pale tans and grisailles, some of these figures hint at a comic lightness, not only in their mismatched proportions but also in the incisive economy with which they are painted. -- Roberta Smith, Art in Review: 'Picasso: The Classical Period', The New York Times, November 21, 2003 -- Artwork info: Pablo Picasso, La Source, 1921, drypoint, 13 3/8 x 17 3/4 inches, edition of 100, signed and numbered -- #picasso #pablopicasso #robertasmith #artcritic #nytimes #classical #classicism #classicalart #modernart #modern #herculaneum #hellenistic #mode #cubism #cubist #masterpiece #erechtheum #greek #roman #italy #masterwork #caryatid #toga #drapery #grecian #printmaking (at Leslie Sacks Gallery)

VIRTUAL REVIEW. Roberta Smith @nytimes “Then the announcement for “Cloistered,” the first Kohlmeyer exhibition at Berry Campbell, arrived by email and I stood corrected. Pedal and metal had made contact. Kohlmeyer had done something that was way above her usual average, something simple and intense. In 1968 and ’69, she produced a group of symmetrical geometric abstract paintings in a rich, winy palette. Hand drawn, their harsh shapes begin at the center of the painting’s edges, widening into diamond or chevron shapes at the center. They suggest the plans for ancient forts, and appropriately so. Cocooned at the center of this symmetry was softer symbol of vulnerability: a simple circle, or occasionally an ellipse, as in the yolk yellow one that, like the air bubble in a carpenter’s level, forms the living heart of the remarkable “Cloistered,” protected by concentric bands of deep red.” [Ida Kohlmeyer “Cloistered #5” 1968 mixed media on canvas 68 x 71 inches] #idakohlmeyer #kohlmeyer #artreview #robertasmith #nytimes #vituraltour #artathome #abstraction #1960s #tulane #mixedmedia #installationart #soloexhibition #5womenartists #2womenartdealers #artgalleries #chelseagalleries #nycart #berrycampbell (at Berry Campbell) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-lC8t2FMn-/?igshid=1eahgro7h4vo8
