...accident that two painters known for maintaining a critical dialogue with abstract expressionism come off very well in the film. The art of Robert Rauschenberg and Jasper Johns is of a type that admits more easily than that of the formalists to personal justification. Thus we have Rauschenberg sitting atop a ladder in his studio and explaining how his search was always for what could be different about his work from other artists and not necessarily what was better. And Johns speaks of trying to find the "things which can't be located" in the materials with which he works...
Because she died at an age when most artists are only getting into their stride, it is not surprising to find that Hesse's main dialogue was with her contemporaries in New York: the spiky or woolly boxes of Lucas Samaras, Claes Oldenburg's soft sculptures, Jasper Johns' borderline works between sculpture and painting. The remarkably intense exchange recalls, like a lost epoch, the temper of New York...
...only city supporting the Democratic ticket by means of the arts. On September 21, the Sidney Janis Gallery together with the Pace Gallery in New York sponsored an art sale including a limited-edition portfolio of such pop artists as Robert Rauschenberg, Claus Oldenberg, Roy Lichtenstein and Jasper Johns.

This comprehensive exhibit of Navajo weaving has spent most of the summer in Los Angeles and will open later this month at the Brooklyn Museum, then moving on to Rice University, Kansas City and Hamburg, West Germany...
...cheerful portfolio. It presents the great river from New York Harbor to the Adirondacks in 102 color scenes, most of them reproductions of famous or forgotten painters of the 19th century, when the Hudson River School was flourishing. Many names are predictable: Thomas Cole, George Inness, Frederic Edwin Church, Jasper Francis Cropsey, Thomas Doughty. So are the scenes of shad fishermen, Hudson River sloops, the Palisades, West Point, etc. Their quality naturally varies, not merely as to the paintings but to reproduction; yet the overall range in style, technique and composition is remarkable. Perfectly suited to readers who know...
