Mel Bochner

Strong Language

By: Norman L. Kleeblatt,Mel Bochner,Jewish Museum (New York, N.Y.)

An engaging exploration of the use of language in a complex and colorful series of paintings Mel Bochner (b. 1940) is celebrated as a key Conceptual artist of the 1960s. Less well-known are his paintings made after that period: complex works based on an exploration of language, often crowded with typography in lush, contrasting hues that both embrace and challenge the painterly tradition. Mel Bochner: Strong Language focuses on this important body of work, in which Bochner investigates the lines between text and image. Ranging from bold admonishments and witty emoticons to provocative floods of words, these works demonstrate conceptual seriousness, as well as delight in the playful potential of language. Norman L. Kleeblatt discusses the evolution of Bochner's art from his early word experiments through his return to painting, while Bochner offers a personal perspective. Both Kleeblatt and Bochner address the question of Jewishness in Bochner's work, particularly the ways in which the Jewish intellectual tradition embraces language as a visual expressive form.

Procession

The Art of Norman Lewis

By: David Acton,Norman Lewis

This beautifully illustrated catalogue accompanies the first major museum retrospective of the painter Norman Lewis (1909Ð1979). Lewis was the sole African American artist of his generation who became committed to issues of abstraction at the start of his career and continued to explore them over its entire trajectory. His art derived inspiration from music (jazz and classical) and nature (seasonal change, plant forms, the sea). Also central to his work were the dramatic confrontations of the civil rights movement, in which he was an active participant among the New York art scene. Bridging the Harlem Renaissance, Abstract Expressionism, and beyond, Lewis is a crucial figure in American abstraction whose reinsertion into the discourse further opens the field for recognition of the contributions of artists of color. Bringing much-needed attention to LewisÕs output and significance in the history of American art, Procession is a milestone in Lewis scholarship and a vital resource for future study of the artist and abstraction in his period. Published in association with Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, Philadelphia. Exhibition dates: Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, Philadelphia: November 13, 2015ÐApril 3, 2016 Amon Carter Museum of American Art, Fort Worth: June 4ÐAugust 21, 2016 Chicago Cultural Center: September 17, 2016ÐJanuary 8, 2017 Ê

Thomas Pihl

Sight Specific

By: Jeroen Chabot,Norman L. Kleeblatt

Die Geschichte der monochromen Malerei reicht mehr als ein Jahrhundert zurück. Seit Kasimir Malewitsch 1915 mit seinem auf einer einzigen Farbfläche basierenden Schwarzen Quadrat die Kunstwelt revolutionierte, hat diese künstlerische Ausdrucksweise viele verschiedene Wege beschritten und dabei nicht an Faszination verloren. Die unverwechselbaren Werke des norwegischen Malers Thomas Pihl reihen sich in diese Tradition ein, setzen sie fort und erweitern sie: Wenn sie eine Geschichte erzählen, dann die ihres Entstehungsprozesses und die der physischen und mentalen Räume, denen sie ausgesetzt sind. In seinen Arbeiten trägt Pihl die Farben in vielen Schichten auf die Leinwand auf und ermöglicht damit einen Blick auf die Spuren des Arbeitsprozesses. Die so entstehende Bildwelt, die uns in ihrem Spiel von Licht und Farbe die Natur der Wahrnehmung vor Augen führt, wird in dieser umfangreichen Publikation erstmals als Ganzes präsentiert.
