Even so, he's not the type to keep an ordinary household. His downstairs parlor is crammed with tall cartons that contain the stretched canvases he has delivered regularly from London. On the stairway leading to his studio, somebody has tracked bright red paint up the carpet. Hockney lives here with John Fitzherbert, his companion for more than a decade, and a studio assistant, Jean-Pierre Goncalves de Lima. Hockney still keeps a place in London and another in L.A., where he plans to return in May. But until then he's in Yorkshire to paint landscapes through all four...
...Tigers from the line.The clock ticked under a minute before Princeton got off a shot, a jumper by reserve center Mike Strittmatter than was off target.Then, the first strange thing happened.Tigers guard Edwin Buffmire, who stands a generous 6’4, came up with the rebound in the paint and snaked around the Harvard big men for an easy layup.No big deal.

Furthermore, the geometric pattern of lines—dubbed “deductive structure” by critics—was derived from the rectangle of the canvas, a frank acknowledgement of materiality directly opposed to traditional painting...
...there is also another side to the 1958 paintings. As narrow as their focus may be in some senses, they still exhibit a dazzling range of technique. In one of my favorite paintings in the show, “Coney Island,” a composition of red and yellow stripes with a bluish rectangle hovering in the center, Stella uses at least two different hues of yellow and three shades of red to give the stripes a mesmerizing glowing effect. The blue rectangle has both white and black paint mixed into the blue, and this variation in tone makes...
