Скачать или смотреть Malcolm Morley “Tally ho” at SPERONE WESTWATER

James Kalm is out for his usual Friday afternoon trek up the Bowery where he’s intent on visiting a mini-retrospective of the late great mischief maker Malcolm Morley. Because of his interest in the New York painting community, your correspondent knows that Morley had a studio just across the street and down the block from the gallery. Gaining much of his early recognition in the early 1970s from his engagement with Photorealism, by late in the decade Morley had strayed off the mainstream of this movement, and begun adding elements that created discordance, not only for their painterly quality, but conceptually, challenging how a painting is made and how a viewer perceives parts and wholes of pictures. This exhibition presents a selection of his late paintings, displaying his fascination with toys of war, knights, castles and aircraft, with a couple of his earlier masterpieces thrown in.
