| Des Moines Art Center | Posted: 2006-08-03 |
Des Moines Art Center hosts the first museum survey exhibition of abstract/figurative artist Cecily Brown.
August 4 – October 1, 2006 Anna K. Meredith Gallery Exhibition Opening Reception Thursday, August 3, 6:30-8:30 pm Music by Dan Brown & Stu Calhoon Duo Admission: $5; members free Lush surfaces, vivid color, and energetic brushwork characterize Brown’s large-scale canvases. Brown inhabits her torrid, atmospheric paintings with figures that swim amongst swells of color and gesture, advancing and receding into painterly abstraction. The traditions of painting and the human figure serve the artist as vehicles to explore the emotive and life-giving potential of the medium. With her various references to art history—from the 17th-century French classicism of Nicolas Poussin to the Baroque flamboyance of Peter Paul Rubens and the living gestures of Willem de Kooning, among other Abstract Expressionists——Brown reinvigorates 21st-century painting. Working alongside the traditions of the medium, and borrowing freely from them, Brown gives life and breath to her canvases. Her absorption of formerly male-dominated approaches to painting, her unapologetic infusion of a feminine viewpoint, and her ability to give form to basic human expressions set Brown’s art apart from her contemporaries and denote her contributions to the art of our time. The Des Moines Art Center’s project will be accompanied by a substantial catalog with essays by Fleming; Linda Nochlin, author and critic; and Linda Norden, curator at the Fogg Art Museum at Harvard University. This exhibition is organized by Jeff Fleming, director, and will travel to the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, October 18, 2006 to January 15, 2007. Funding for Cecily Brown is provided by the National Endowment for the Arts, the Joan Mitchell Foundation, and David Kruidenier. | |
Reviews
| Charlie Finch on Cecily Brown | Posted: 2006-05-23 |
| Published January 2000.
"In a way it's disappointing that Cecily Brown got all that attention for being sexy and a throwback to the Ab Ex era and then crashed through her own reflection in real life. The pub, the hype and the glory obscured something essential about Cecily -- that her new paintings at Gagosian are truly revolutionary. ..." | |
| Jerr Saltz on Cecily Brown | Posted: 2006-05-23 |
| Published February 2000
"...On the plus side, Brown's paintings have the flamboyant look of centerfolds all swooshed up and run through a wood chipper, or as the artist Cheryl Donegan put it, "They look as if a hand grenade had been thrown into a Versace show." The paint is juicy. The color is glitzy. The ambition is big. But, swashbuckling aside, the surfaces are bland. Six of the eight paintings are signed simply "Cecily"—like Cher—as if she knew how comical all this was...." | |
