"Art" ping...whatchoo guys think??
Oops...meant woofie.
Art ping.
Let Sam Cree, Woofie or me know if you want on or off this art ping list.
Thanks for the post and for all the pics! I rarely make it to see this show, and we are not that far from NYC.
Well, I like Liden's Lake with Fire. There's a spiritual mystery there that has me thinking, and I like that. But otherwise, it all has a "been there, done that" quality. What's really new? New form, new content? I don't see it. And I'm disappointed with de Suvero's work.
The more I see this stuff, the more it does seem like the "academic" art of the end of the century. I'm going to post an article by Donald Kuspit from Art New England about the resurgence of realism. But I'm not sure that detailed realism is the answer either. But Kuspit does note a shift away from the common negativity of NYC art, and that's point worth considering.
