Yes, I too have admired Brice Marden work since back in the late seventies. Absolutely beautiful life's work. I stole many things from his work even though my work does not appear related to his masterful achievements. The painting , Skewed - yellow and orange on grey with ocher, reminds me of some Jasper John's pieces. Thanks James and Kate. Has it really been this long ?!?

Really quite a stunning show and I must say I really haven't been a big Marden fan of his previous work. First really surprised that Gago removed the wooden trusses as they were such a beautiful and aesthetic architectural feature. When I saw the show yesterday the former M Boone space had, I thought , a more contempo defined feel to it - perfectly ok, but it's a shame trusses had to go. Not sure the half -assed reporter mention it, but for all the graphic impact these paintings have ( and they do pack quite a punch) the surfaces are incredibly delicate, as is the application of paint- so much so that the textured surface of the canvas is visible in all the paintings. Up close it's almost like looking at a pointillist painting slightly washed away. The linear brushstrokes too are semi-opaque- interconnected to each other, but just barely. It seems that this technique is what gives these paintings a somewhat "greater intensity of color". Also a really nice visual movement from the XL polyptych in the front entry to the much smaller black and white ink drawings in the back. Beautiful show- I especially liked the the first painting on the left of the entry, the simplest of the lot, with the sumptuous pale green background and bluish calligraphic lines.

Nice commentary with the viewing. I love the title..These paintings are of themselves. I always get sea sick when I watch your KZbins. Not sure what to suggest and I watch them anyway because I like your insights. Maybe dramamine 🤢
@ritazita11112 жыл бұрын
I've been a painter for 30 years and have always thought Marden's work was too formulaic. This work feels like it has a bit more 'soul'....still I think Terry Winters' work is much stronger and more interesting. In this work I see possible influences of Jasper Johns.
@danielkunkel36302 жыл бұрын
Good call James (though I like some Neo also...) ! This guy is a painter's painter, most of these works are stunning even when seen on video... I am seeing a hint of Terry Winters alchemy, and that's okay with me...Brice: I love the "empty" space at the bottoms of these works, they provide clues as to your process, which I enjoy exploring. Let's not let that become a signature device though, okay? Keep moving. And: There is a strange early 70's Guston of Richard Nixon's phlebetic leg squiggled with veins that is strikingly similar to Brice's wavy line, but PG's were intentionally ugly, these are just so beautiful...Lesson: There is nothing new to paint, there is only the way you paint it... Thank you Kate!

Interesting how heavily the line paths are influenced by the shape of the grid. All strictly vertical and horizontal lines seem to match up with the grid edges, and diagonal lines seem to pass from one grid vertex to another. I imagine the motion path itself is largely improvised within the grid's constraints.

Not super familiar with Brice Marden, but loved the video and commentary and was inspired by his color palette. Is the encaustic on these pieces super thin? The number one rule for encaustic is always work on a rigid surface like a wood panel or it will crack. ...and thanks for the great music too!

This is not encaustic, it's oil, graphite and chalk on linen. (I believe Brice stopped using encaustic in the early 1990s(?)...
