Duchamp and More at The Norton Simon Museum
Painting by Helen Frankenthaler
“Adriatic”
1968
Just a week after the East Austin Studio Tour ended (my last big art event for the year), we took another vacation out to LA to visit my husband’s elderly parents.
On our first day there, we met up with my friend Patri, and proceeded to the Norton Simon Museum. Well, we did a kind of a whirlwind tour there. We had gone for the Marcel Duchamp Redux show, which was quite a tiny show. It was literally a copy of a show they had had there decades earlier. They had mostly prints of about 14 pieces from the earlier 1963 show, all in one small room.
Draw from Center Out
Class notes from Painting the Figure in space with Elizabeth Rupprecht, SAIC, 1991
Draw from center out. Work from bottom up, never top down.
Like riding a bike uphill.
Crunching up the space, like using your muscles. All this space to work with. Swooping down.
