Often creating muted paintings in shades of grey, silver, or black, Humphries's paintings rely on the simple gesture of a line or the soft
imprint of her paintbrush to convey her intention.
On Thursday, professor
of art history and director
of the Hunter College galleries Joachim Pissarro discusses Toroni's signature mark — the
imprint of a no. 50
paintbrush, applied at 30 cm intervals — in relationship to the BMPT group (Buren, Mosset, Parmentier, Toroni) and the politics
of Paris in the 1960s, when the artist and the group first got their start.
