Recent Press | “Sherron Francis: Beyond the Stain” is reviewed by David Rhodes for The Brooklyn Rail

“Francis combines a range of unpredictable color relations and light-sensitive surface effects that stand apart from the once-vaunted and later-overlooked genre of (mostly) New York City–based Color Field painting. Within this particular context, a painter that comes to mind is Peter Bradley—like Francis, he was exhibited by André Emmerich in the 1970s. Both artists share a natural boldness in the selection and use of material that doesn’t prevent them from emphasizing, above all else, color as a perceptual phenomenon without which there is simply no world to engage with.

Doubling (1983) is one of several paintings here that surprise when viewed at an angle. But after all, why should we view such works only as frontal images? The silver pigmented gel that Francis has applied to this painting by squeegee throws a shadow like a wide incision as it displaces more viscous paint: a visceral approach to paint and surface like something we might find in the work of a laboring plasterer. Combined with such nuanced color, this directness is exciting.”

Visit the exhibition at 542 West 24th Street through October 24.

During the 1970s, Sherron Francis was part of a dynamic artistic community in New York, surrounded by fellow painters and sculptors exploring new directions in postwar American art.

Among her contemporaries were Larry Zox and Ronnie Landfield, two artists who, like Francis, engaged with the possibilities of abstraction. Zox experimented with vivid color and geometric forms, while Landfield became known for expansive fields of color, expressive gestures, and an ongoing dialogue between abstraction and landscape.

Happy birthday to Virginia Berresford, born on this day in 1902 🎈

Virginia Berresford was an underrated American modernist who had no instantly recognizable style. In the 1970s, when someone complained that one of her calligraphic paintings was “not like her,” Berresford replied, “I get that comment so often… People want the same style. They don’t realize that an artist wants to experiment, to change, to grow.” The ongoing variety of Berresford’s approaches and techniques held her back commercially, but led to the creation of an oeuvre that continues to fascinate in the twenty-first century.

Swipe through to explore the variety of her work and celebrate her boundless creativity.

Artworks shown by Berresford, in order:
1. "Abandoned Project (De Lesseps' Failure at Panama Canal)," 1935, oil on canvas, 24 x 19 inches
2. "Pond in Back of Her House," oil on board, 23 1/2 x 17 1/2 inches
3. "Circus Nets," 1950, oil on board, 20 x 16 inches
4. "Winter Moots," ca. 1958, oil on canvas board, 8 1/4 x 12 1/2 inches

In the Spotlight | Bradley Walker Tomlin ➰

“Tomlin could take an old yellow and a dirty white and make them sing.” ~ Philip Guston

As part of our ongoing "In The Spotlight" series, Eli Sterngass highlights “Small Wind Disturbing a Bonfire,” (1949) by Bradley Walker Tomlin (1899-1953). Tomlin occupies a distinctive place in the history of Abstract Expressionism. Admired by his fellow artists, he remains less widely recognized than Jackson Po***ck, Mark Rothko, or studio-mate Robert Motherwell. Despite flying largely under the radar today, Philip Guston and Hans Hofmann dedicated paintings to him, Richard Pousette-Dart dedicated his book to Tomlin, and Calvert Coggeshall named his own son “Tomlin” after his close friend. And Tomlin’s paintings offer something essential to our understanding of the movement: a language of abstraction in which delicacy, restraint, and carefully measured rhythms carry remarkable expressive force.

“Small Wind Disturbing a Bonfire” brings these qualities into focus. Across an elongated, dark ground, pale ribbons of paint curl, sweep, and flicker, suggesting flames stirred by a passing breeze. Broad strokes of creamy yellow mingle with fine, looping lines. The intervals between them give each gesture room to resonate, while a long, curving stroke near the lower right steadies the composition. The painting holds movement and stillness in a delicate balance. What continues to strike me about this work is the expressive range Tomlin achieves with so few elements. Its pale strokes seem momentary, yet their effect endures.

De Cost Smith, “White Tail Fawn,” October 1906, oil on watercolor board, 10 ½ x 14 ⅜ inches

De Cost Smith (1864–1939) was an American painter, illustrator, and writer born in Skaneateles, New York, near the Onondaga Reservation. From an early age, Smith developed a close relationship with the Onondaga people, regularly visiting the reservation and eventually being initiated into the tribe. De Cost Smith’s firsthand experiences became the foundation of a wide-ranging body of paintings, illustrations, and writings, both documenting nature and Indigenous life.

On the back of this watercolor, Smith recorded the exact location of his sighting of the fawn depicted: “Whitetail Fawn, Squaw Creek (below Musselshell Riv.) Upper Missouri, Montana, Oct., 1906.”

A closer look at “Eighth Avenue and 56th Street” by Lucile Blanch 🏙️🔍

In the 1930s, Eighth Avenue and 56th Street formed part of New York City’s automobile district, capturing a city in transition as the automobile industry expanded and horse-drawn carriages gradually gave way to motor traffic.

Blanch’s painting is filled with signs of the changing streetscape: a truck carrying tires rumbles down the road, meters and storefront signs cater to a growing community of automobile owners, and pedestrians and their dogs navigate the busy lanes of traffic. In the distance, the Argonaut Building, originally built by the Demarest and Peerless automobile manufacturers, rises alongside the Broadway Tabernacle. Much of the streetscape Blanch captured has since disappeared.

Swipe through for close-ups from Blanch’s painting paired with archival photographs of the scenery she depicted. Can you match them? 🔍👀
