Enjoyed the Fold
Gallery's current group show, Mudlark on Friday. Lots of painterly gestural
pictures, many very modest in size. My favorites were Dominic Kennedy's:
loosely worked, crayola color scheme, marginally representational, done with a
brush that he must know is far too small. Or not. Having never been face to
face with a Manet before, I was very taken with the strange selection currently
on at the Royal Academy. Dark and brown academic pictures hang side by
side with more loosely worked maverick-y ones. In spite to the huge crowds, I
hope to wait in line to see it all again. Best time so far was seeing Peter
Doig's show at Michael Werner. Exotic biographical/fantasy subjects some huge,
some tiny. For me, seeing them in person was completely sublime. There's a
catalogue out there, but the poor reproductions don't do the work any justice.
