John murray classes week of Feb.14,2011

Staining and texture:

Try a painting that incorporates staining justaposed with thicker textural elements, as this Helen Frankenthaler painting, "For Hiroshige" does so effectively.

Read the review in the Friday New York Times (http://www.nytimes.com/) art and design section under Art in Review, by Roberta Smith of a show of her work "East and Beyond"at Knoedler & Company.

Postmodern Assemblage:

At the same nytimes.com site take a look at the Arts section lead story on the MOMA "Picasso: Guitars 1912-1914" show that opens this Sunday and runs trough June 6. Try a cardboard assemblage object yourself. e
See you next week. john.
