The Last Day for…
An Opening of the Field: Jess, Robert Duncan and Their Circle.
The Enamored Mage: Translation #6, 1965Today was the last day for An Opening of the Field: Jess, Robert Duncan and Their Circle at the Crocker Art Museum in Sacramento, was a very good show if for nothing else, the work of Jess. Showing a sampling from his oeuvre. His late work, for which he is best known, stand alone in their dense rich paint and colors. But there is a lot to look at in his early work. They don’t look dated. From washes to Clumps of paint, moving between figurative and abstraction in ways that artists are still mining.
Erotic Triptych: Lovers III, 1969
Feignting Spell, 1954.
