Richard Tuttle has been pursuing a poetics of unassuming beauty since the late 1960s, contributing crucially to the language of
painting while eschewing its conventional trappings; Julian Schnabel is represented by a recent work in which a rain - stained lampshade becomes the occasion for meditation on
accident and intention, seeking, as Elizabeth Taylor once said, to «
give the maximum emotional effect with the minimum of visual movement.»
As Jackson Pollock explains in an interview, this state
gives a creator the feeling that there is no more
accident: «I don't use the
accident — «cause I deny the
accident», the fact is that «with experience, it seems to be possible to control the flow of
paint, to a great extent».
