☆ Mary Cassatt’s Women Didn’t Sit Pretty
  + stars: | 2024-05-16 | by ( Deborah Solomon | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
In the epic story of modern art, Mary Cassatt has been cast as the premier painter of mothers and babies. Yet she created a world in which no one ever changed a diaper or ran out of milk. For decades she was dismissed as a paintbrush-wielding patrician unconnected to the make-it-new spirit of modern art. Yet at least since 1998, when the British feminist Griselda Pollock published the book “Mary Cassatt: Painter of Modern Women,” Cassatt has been rehabilitated as a proto-feminist who supported women’s suffrage and experimented daringly in her work. The approaching centennial of Cassatt’s death is inspiring a new round of exhibitions and books, and a reappraisal is welcome.

☆ Frank Stella Went From Bauhaus to Fun House
  + stars: | 2024-05-05 | by ( Deborah Solomon | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
Frank Stella, who died on Saturday at age 87, once joked that he harbored only one regret. Stella, it can safely be said, was not a fashion plate. To the end of his life, he had the aura of a nervous whiz kid with oversize glasses and frizzy hair. Despite their portentous titles (“Die Fahne hoch!” for instance, or “The Marriage of Reason and Squalor II”), the paintings reference nothing outside themselves. “What you see is what you see,” Stella declared, providing the Minimalist movement with a pithy and enduring slogan.

☆ Dana Schutz Is Seriously Funny. Tracey Emin Is Seriously Honest

This is not to say that her paintings all have the same enviable unity. Schutz attempts something similar in “The Gathering,” which can be read as an allegory of the art world. Nice sentiment, but when the man is a woman her reach for excellence can leave her stretched to death. The seven large-scale sculptures in the show, by the way, also abound with narrative incident, but lack the cleareyed vigor of the paintings. **Tracey Emin, the British artist and brand name, seems like the opposite of Dana Schutz.

☆ Picasso: Love Him or Hate Him?
  + stars: | 2023-04-05 | by ( Deborah Solomon | April | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +14 min
It is not hugely cool to profess a love for Picasso these days. This is what Picasso’s detractors — like Hannah Gadsby, the Australian comedian and Picasso basher, who will help curate a Picasso show at the Brooklyn Museum opening on June 2 — often miss. Picasso, by contrast, brought the weight of lived experience into his work, even when he was tethered to archetypal subjects. “The Mother” (1901), an early painting by Picasso, shows a view of motherhood purged of Renaissance idealization. The conventional view of the painting holds that the women are “dolled-up cocottes,” as John Richardson glibly put it in his biography of Picasso.
