Answering the Colonizers of Modernism

The paintings of Kenyan artist Michael Armitage present a particularly resonant response to the expanded, repackaged, and redefined offerings at the reopened MoMA.

Doyle’s sculpture offers an opportunity to contemplate the beauty of pure form, but without a hint of nostalgia.

An Unlikely Matchup of Paper and Steel

Avatar photo by Thomas Micchelli September 14, 2019September 17, 2019

An odd pairing of drawings by Eva Hesse and sculptures by John Chamberlain sets up unintended comparisons between two artists who otherwise seem to share only an ingrained rebelliousness.

Piero Manzoni and the Reinvention of Art

Avatar photo by Thomas Micchelli July 20, 2019July 22, 2019

Manzoni’s work can be viewed as slight and Herculean, tragic and buoyant, mystical and materialist, minimal and baroque.

Leonardo and His Double

Leonardo da Vinci would have found a deep connection to the ostracism of Saint Jerome at the hands of the envious and the hypocritical.

The Searing Beauty of Nancy Spero

Avatar photo by Thomas Micchelli June 22, 2019June 22, 2019

With their free interplay of image and text, Spero’s Codex Artaud and the even more ambitious Notes in Time are nothing less than a personal redefinition of the nature and meaning of visual art.

Visions of Home, from Dream Memories to Trump Country

The disparity between what we expect from domesticity and what lurks beneath the surface generates a finely wrought tension that coils throughout this show.

Lucian Freud’s Mountains of Flesh

Freud’s forlorn, isolated figures and grotty interiors resonate appallingly with the steep cultural and social decline fated by Brexit, if it ever takes effect.

Escaping the Neo-Conceptualist Bubble

An exhibition that questions whether art can be based on formulas without becoming formulaic.

The Colors of the Sixties

Avatar photo by Thomas Micchelli April 6, 2019December 27, 2019

Spilling Over: Painting in the 1960s at the Whitney Museum expands the common understanding of a pivot point in American art, while basking unapologetically in the pure pleasure of looking.
