...Good to hear from you -- a voice out of my past.<br /><br /> You're absolutely right, I confess, I was too "short, dismissive and shallow." This was especially unforgivable toward a hard-working artist that had been doing it for some sixty years. It's just that in comparison to Kauffman's burning creativity and awesome talent of the 1950's and 1960's -- well this show was a disappointment. <br /><br />Since you didn't mention anything, am I to assume you agree with me re. Herms, whom I loved, and McCracken, of whom I was, if anything, more dismissive?<br /><br />Anyway, congratulations on an excellent blog and gallery. I'm a great fan of Ab Ex ceramics -- I hope you do even more with that work.Left Bank Art Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13594090387591285152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522800471258383718.post-5150169717499528562010-11-09T16:21:46.592-05:002010-11-09T16:21:46.592-05:00Hey Charles,
Hope you and Annie are fine. I
just r...Hey Charles,<br />Hope you and Annie are fine. I<br />just read your post about the Renato Danese Kauffman show, and found it rather short, dismissive and shallow. In truth, Kauffman's late work as presented at Danese show significant differences at the edges of the "bubble" form as well as the much more metalic coloration. And, what about the oval form with a void in the center? Not to mention the use of another material, glitter. Why not continue to investigate a material and a kind of painting over a long career? Well, we could have a longer discussion if you would take a look at several posts on my blog:<br />http://franklloydgallery.wordpress.com/<br />it's easy to see them all by just typing "Craig Kauffman" into the search box.<br />all best regards, hope you are doing well,<br />FrankFrank Lloydhttp://franklloydgallery.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
