The room at the Whitney was so much like our show at the gallery a few years ago that it was a deja vu moment for us. I loved the room there but the rest of the BiAnnual was a bit like a freak show. What some people think is art these days escapes me, anyhow. Roberta Smith’s review of the Christie’s show was right on the money and right on the selection. There were a few really great paintings (mostly borrowed from museums) but I found myself most strongly attracted to his really early ones – the ones with figures. They have that oddness and intensity that I like best in his work.<br /><br />John BakerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20588196.post-37442597667115198962012-04-15T18:18:07.293-04:002012-04-15T18:18:07.293-04:00Great evolution in your relationship to Bess.Glad ...Great evolution in your relationship to Bess.Glad to hear about the fishing and the natural environment.YOu always told me these things have a profound subliminal effect on us. These are artists we can keep learning from.To see Picasso in deKooning is something I knew obviously,but this time I truly saw it as though they were compressed in time and were a just a few days apart in cosmic time.Artists talking to each other over time.Did picasso and dekooning ever meet?I guess they did in their souls.<br /><br />MartinAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
