...Written Paint. With hindsight, it is difficult to look at the broad, loosely brushed planes of primary color in Marin's watercolor of 1921, Red and Green and Blue-Autumn, without thinking of Philip Guston or Hans Hofmann; and Marin's Cape Split. Maine, with its fuzzy-edged, vibrating and organic shapes held together by tense flicks of line, equally suggests Gorky or the early De Kooning. Near the end of his life, Marin was almost literally writing the paint onto his canvases -his own title for a 1950 oil was The Written Sea-with an immediacy...
Charlotte Lichtblau seeks to paint, in her words, "an imaginative vision of subject-man-whether he lives in the city, ancient or modern, in a village-as a creature never fully acclimatized, always an alien spirit even in the most intimate surroundings." Her work is mystical, even iconographical, with bold colors straining toward the fervor of stained glass.

Smoke in Line. Painters had been generalizing about Rome for decades -nearly every young English lord on the grand tour would, as a matter of course, have some virtuoso paint his portrait with an ancient bust or two in the background, along with some emblematic columns. But every building and vista in Ingres' Roman portraits was specific and exact. Madame Guillon-Lethière and her son rise against a background of the Spanish Steps, not like personages in a theater of antiquity, but as people confidently occupying space in a real landscape. Civil Engineer Charles Francois Mallet poses...
Gabriel the painter is its central character, a loquacious and unrecognized artist who buys time to paint his apocalyptic visions by turning out cheap still lifes of Chianti bottles to order for a downtown trash shop. He is the stoned descendant of Joyce Carey's Gulley...
