|
|
As Giasson points out in the exhibition's catalogue, among the members of Iturria's generation of Latin-American art-makers, he has become something of a younger elder statesman who, unlike many of his peers, chose to make the human figure a central subject in his work, even as such strong tendencies as geometric abstraction and conceptual art were developing around him.
|
|
It seems to me that by deploying his geometric forms to twist the picture plane, and by refusing to establish a repeating pattern of colors and shapes, as he does in a number of the paintings, Westfall has reconfigured possibilities associated with Op Art, Pattern and Decoration, and 1960s geometric abstraction, taking the unitary organization inherent to these styles into a fresh territory.
|
|
The uneven, cut edges of the large, collaged canvas; the stenciled, decorative, and star-like shapes on the blue band; the trail of gel-like material running along the seam between the red and yellow bands; the unevenness of each band's color; and the speckles of red paint on the yellow band undo the pristine perfection we associate with geometric abstraction.

In fact, many of the pieces on view seem to feel right at home alongside better-known, canonical works of modern and contemporary art, considering, for example, the formal affinities between the Gee's Bend quilts and modernist geometric abstraction, or the Souls Grown Deep artists' inventive handling of found materials in ways that seem to parallel (or unwittingly presage) quite a few modernist or postmodernist gestures.

Elsewhere, geometric abstraction meets extreme figuration; a 19673 painting by Peter Halley uses cells and conduits to elucidate networks of power, surveillance and cruelty à la Foucault, while Nayland Blake deploys a marionette and a miniature theater inspired by the writings of the Marquis de Sade (in works from 1991-94 that provide some literary-historical context for the National Endowment for the Arts culture wars of that time).

|
Finally, for those who prefer their ceramics more firmly in the lineage of minimalism and geometric abstraction, two standouts are Zachary Leener's psychedelic work in the booth of Los Angeles gallery Tif Sigfrids — which evokes a cactus or perhaps a key to an alternate reality — and Peter Shire's small work in the Derek Eller Gallery booth — which could almost be a maquette for the next starchitect-designed Miami Beach resort.
|
|
Moreover, if one considers the alternate history of Schapiro's having continued to work in this vein of geometric abstraction, given the typical narratives of the time, her career would likely have plateaued in relation to a colleague like Held, in part because he was a male artist, with all the privileges that brought, and in part because he was, in that mode, perhaps a stronger artist: as impressive as "Byzantium" is, it can't compete with the impact of Held's paintings as paintings, their literal physicality — the extra thick stretchers and larger size and the paint handling, which manages to be worked even when flat — and their composition, which bends vision into sci-fi space but also retains the power of the overall ground.
