Walking Soldier, 1917. Alexander Archipenko. A cubist, I’m taken at how Archipenko could capture the beauty of the human form with such simplicity. (Taken with instagram)
Premiere, 1957. Some consider Stuart Davis’ work that of a proto-pop artist, a pre-cursor to the Warhols and other artists to come that would comment heavily on pop culture. Davis was the youngest artist to participate in the 1913 exhibition of modern art in New York, a real innovator in his day. Premiere was inspired by product packaging, and is an exercise in what he called color composition. (Taken with instagram)
Smoke, 1967, by Tony Smith. This huge installation, in the Ahamson building at LACMA, is both compelling and disturbing to me. The blank, cavernous white walls have always felt sterile to me, combined with the stark black of Smoke make this less awe-inspiring and more cold and disturbing to me. It’s interesting how the entire piece seems to lean as well, perhaps to mimic how smoke behaves, but for me, the composition feels a bit out of balance. (Taken with instagram)
