Curator's Talk with Kenneth Brummel
Presented in conjunction with the exhibition "A New Look: 1960s and 70s Abstract Painting at the AGO" on now
Everyone was at a loss after Abstract Expressionist painter Jackson Pollock famously flung and dripped paint onto the unstretched canvases he placed on the floor of his studio in 1948. To quote the American artist Allan Kaprow: He destroyed painting. But if Pollock destroyed all the assumptions everyone had about painting in the late 1940s, he also created a generation of artists who were forced to contend with his innovation in the 1950s and 1960s. In this lecture, we will explore how these artists Frank Stella, Jack Bush, Gene Davis, Helen Frankenthaler, Morris Louis, Kenneth Campbell Lochead and Kenneth Clifton Noland made sense of painting in the wake of Jackson Pollocks radical gesture.
