...Dessau), where he quietly considered some of the other teachers to be nuts, as indeed some were. Teaching was not a sideline for Klee; it was hugely important to him because it enabled him to systematize his thinking about art. He made up whole strings of teaching theory about color and form, and about the relation of theory to practice, embellished with neat little diagrams of fuzzy squares and charging black arrows. The main fruit of his theorizing was the Pedagogical Sketchbook, the foundation of his teaching practice, which has been through numberless editions and translations since it first...
...work was not rooted in any movement. However abstract, it came out of the experience of nature and culture blended. Perhaps the decisive moment in Klee's early career was a 1914 visit that he and his friend August Macke paid to Tunisia, where the warm, sparse earth colors, the heat and the townscape of Hammamet, a desert construction of white boxes and bubbling domes, affected him so powerfully that he was at last able to tell his diary that "color and I are one. I am a painter." The vision of the cellular-grid forms of Tunis, though...
...page to specific points” (1975) by Sol LeWitt, which cannot be seen until given close inspection. This work and the works sharing its wall space show white lines converging into a central point. This work also seems atypical of his personality. The works lack the rich color he has employed in the past, as well as paying more attention to line and less to special geometrical patterns shown in his other, more famous, works...
...Bill Wheelock was by far the most impressive work in the show. It is comprised of strings of monofilament, and sections are painted red so that there seems to be a hazy, red sphere floating within a Plexiglas cube when seen from a distance. The unimaginable use of space, color, and medium in this work reflects the genius Wheelock makes us of in most of his works. However, his use of common materials—lines of texts in a jar or huge cubes of aluminum—and his toying with spatial perception seem out of place in Krakow?...
However, the lives of many of these artists have been dedicated to the study of color, geometry and works that spatially shock their viewers. The Barbara Krakow Gallery’s exhibition in no way draws its meaning from the artists or engages with the conceptual consideration evident in the works of art displayed...
