Jasper Johns: Recent Paintings and Works on Paper
Matthew Marks Gallery has a wonderful exhibit of Jasper Johns art until April 6th. I like his art more with every exhibit I see, and I chose to combine some of his well known images, to remember my visit to the gallery with my friends Pat and Benedicte.
Jacob Lawrence: We saw this exhibit at DC Moore Gallery one day before it closed. Jacob Lawrence did 41 tempera paintings in 1938 on the Life of Toussaint L'Overture, leader of a rebellion in Haiti, followed by a campaign to draft Haiti's first democratic constitution. Between 1986 and 1997 Lawrence made siik screen prints of 15 of the paintings and a complete set was in the exhibit. This one depicts him opening the rebellion charge.
